Thursday, February 25, 1993 - Monterrey, CA

This morning was sunny and warm, but by noon it had clouded up and was starting to rain.
I walked around in the morning, mailed a couple of letters, found a Safeway and bought some fish and eggs. In the afternoon, I stayed in the warm, dry cockpit and got caught up on my reading.
Roy spent the whole day working in the fo'c'sle. He built a cover for the anchor chain and a shelf for my bicycle. Big improvement.
Oh, yes. We listened to the Manana Net again and made another futile attempt to contact Ken. I so obviously sounded like a novice that the net coordinator asked me what class license I had. (Novices aren't allowed to transmit on that frequency.) When I said, "Advanced," he wanted to know how long I'd had it. Boy, was I embarrassed! I got my Advanced license a year ago today, and used it for the first time a couple of weeks ago.
The wind is supposed to shift to the northwest tomorrow, so maybe we'll be able to get out of this place.
