Pouring rain this morning. Luckily, we had postponed our Boston trip until Tuesday, because Roy wanted to finish boxing and shipping his tools that he'll need in California. This would not have been a good day for sightseeing, but it was a great day for indoor activities.
The guy from the generator repair place came by to say that the fuel tank was all rusty and the valves were shellacked, or something like that. He said they could fix it, but it wouldn't be covered by the warranty. Roy gave them the go-ahead.
By the way, Roy found out why the boat crashed into the bridge the other night. The power failed as the bridge was opening, so momentum kept the bridge swinging past its normal position. The bridge is 100 years old. They're planning on building a new one sometime in the near future. The old one is having lots of problems. One time today, it stuck half open and half closed. Angry motorists were beeping their horns, and many turned around and headed for the other bridge. It took about half an hour to get the bridge operational again.
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.
