Spent the morning doing the laundry. In the afternoon, we went on a futile diesel run. You'd think a fancy marina like this would have a fuel dock, but it doesn't. Roy pulled the wagon with two empty jerry cans on it over to the Pemex station where we used to get diesel, but they don't carry it any more. The attendant told us we could get diesel at the other Pemex, which is on the road to La Paz and about one kilometer away, so we began walking in that direction. After 1 1/2 kilometers, we asked someone else and were told it was a kilometer away. At that point, we decided we didn't really need extra diesel after all. There was a strong wind blowing, so we'd be able to sail all the way to Puerto Vallarta, and we had a full tank.
Saw a little barber shop, so Roy got his hair cut. Bought a few groceries.
Roy phoned Steve and confirmed his plans to meet us in Puerto Vallarta. I talked with Nancy on the phone, but wasn't able to reach 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.
