Roy and I went up to the Gear Locker and bought a good chart of Portland Harbor. Found out Marilyn's message was "blueberry muffins", not "blueberry pie".
Rode my bike to the post office and mailed Steve's birthday present. No mail in General Delivery, so I guess Kathy didn't send any. Maybe she didn't get my last message. Went on over to the grocery store and bought a few things.
Marilyn and Don arrived punctually at 11:30. Found out Marilyn had said "chicken salad sandwiches", not "chicken salad", so now we have a surplus of sandwiches. That's better than not enough.
Went through the 12:15 bridge opening and motored out the channel. Rounded the point where Fort Rodman is and dropped anchor. Ate our delicious lunch. Then we raised the sails and sailed for the rest of the afternoon. The breeze was about ten or twelve knots out of the southwest, so it was just right. The temperature was pleasant, too. There was some fog, but not too bad. All in all, a very nice day.
This Blog is our mother's logs from her sails aboard Jofian. Our mother, Clare Holt, wrote a log every day and after her first sail to Mexico, she bought a laptop to write and save her logs. She sailed when the World Wide Web was first created, there was not as much on the Internet back then, no Wi-Fi, Internet access was very limited. I know if she were sailing today that she would be putting her logs in a Blog, so I am doing it for her. Mom’s logs to Alaska are on saillogsalaska.blogspot.com.
