Wind and rain this morning, the tail end of tropical storm Beryl. The wind has lost most of its power, but the rain is still fairly heavy. We filled our water tank and had plenty of rain left over.
Weighed anchor for Gloucester about ten o'clock. We were able to motorsail most of the way, but then the wind changed and we had to motor.
Going by the Dry Salvages, we saw a fishing boat high and dry on the rocks. Apparently, the crew had already been taken off; we didn't see anyone waving for help, so we continued on.
Gloucester has a very well protected harbor. We arrived about six o'clock. Dropped anchor twice. The first time, we were in a channel, so we had to pull up the anchor and move a few hundred yards.
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.
