What a perfect day! Bright sunshine, blue sky, clear air, light wind. We couldn't have picked a better day if we'd tried.
The Gibsons arrived about 10:30. We were able to sail gently almost all the way to the Isles of Shoals. Dropped anchor, relaxed, ate lunch, enjoyed the scenery. The Isles of Shoals consists of several small islands. The largest is Appledore, which has a Marine Biology Lab of the University of Maine and also a church convention center. The next largest is Star, which has a large, verandahed hotel from the 1890's. A handful of people live on the islands yearround.
After lunch, we sailed back. The Gibsons really enjoyed the day and so did we.
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.
