Roy ran some errands in the morning. Then we took our last good showers until we reach Florida, turned in the keys, and took the boat to the City Dock. After lunch, I bought a few more groceries and a couple of charts.
In the evening, Roy really surprised me. He had told me in the morning that we'd eat supper at the Soup Exchange in Chula Vista, so I was all set to go there. Even had the bus schedule in my pocket. Then, as we were walking to the bus stop, Roy suddenly grabbed my arm and pulled me up the stairs to the Chart House! What a treat! It was a double celebration--we were celebrating our imminent departure, and it was also an early celebration of my birthday, since we'll probably be at sea on the real day. Had delicious chicken dinners, and then the waiter brought me a sundae with a burning candle in it.
After supper, we strolled around a while, enjoying the balmy air. What a lovely evening!
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.
