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.
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.
