Still blowing a gale. Took the bus to Aptos and ate lunch at an oriental restaurant at Aptos Station. While we were eating, the rain began coming down in a deluge. In no time at all, there were several inches of rain in the parking lot. Lucky we had our raincoats.
One of the doodads Roy brought home yesterday was a stainless steel gypsy for the anchor chain. In order to make it fit, he had to take it to his shop and machine it. We had found out that a city bus goes all the way from Santa Cruz to San Jose for only $2, so after some discussion, we decided to take the bus to San Jose tomorrow, go out to Kathy's and get my car, then drive to Richmond, so Roy could machine the gypsy in his shop. But first, he had to remove the old gypsy, so we took the bus to a tool rental place, rented a puller, and returned to the boat. After some struggle, Roy got the old gypsy off.
It looks as if this storm will last several more days, so I signed us up for some free seminars this weekend. They'll be held all day Saturday and Sunday in the Coast Guard Auxiliary building on the other side of the Yacht Harbor and will cover everything from radio to fishing.
