Another full day of seminars, but this time they ended at six, thank goodness.
The morning seminar was on fishing. The guy who gave it really knew his stuff. We learned a great deal neither of us had known before, such as the right way to bait a hook.
The afternoon sessions were on life rafts and emergency equipment, climaxed by our firing flares from the beach--a rare opportunity. Usually, you're not permitted to fire flares except in an emergency.
All in all, an interesting and informative weekend, but we're glad it's over, so we don't have to sit on those miserable chairs any more.
The storm has finally died down, and the wind is supposed to shift to northwest tomorrow night, so I'll do the laundry in the morning and then take the car back to Kathy.
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.
