I was running late all day today, but the essential things got done.
Got up late. After breakfast, took the clothes to the laundromat, which turned out to be rather old. Took twice as long as it should to dry the clothes. Then I went a few blocks down the street to the Post Office and found a nice shiny new laundromat practically next door.
Mailed our tax returns and FCC applications. Bought a few things at Safeway and headed back to the boat. By the time I ate lunch and got underway, it was after two.
Reached Kathy's place a little after three. Got my mail and caught the bus downtown. Took the 4:10 bus back to Santa Cruz. Unfortunately, they were breaking in a new driver. He missed the Scott's Valley turnoff and had to double back on a narrow country road.
By the time the bus got to Santa Cruz, it was about twenty to six, and we were out near the Dominican Hospital. I thought I'd have to take two buses to get home, so I started walking towards a bus stop, but then I noticed I was at the intersection of Soquel and 7th Avenue. 7th goes almost to the Yacht Harbor, so I decided to walk. Got to the boat at 6:20, ten minutes ahead of the bus. And I saved 80 cents bus fare.
Roy has put the new gypsy on the anchor winch, so we're all set to leave at last.
