We lucked out. Beautiful sunny day today. We left at quarter to six and reached Newport around three. Had a great sail part of the way, but then had to use the engine. We're actually on our way!
Frank's wife drove to Newport to pick him up. Roy wanted to take the new diesel heater that he'd shipped from California and that had been bent out of shape in transit to a West Marine store to see if they'd exchange it. Frank drove us over there and back in his wife's car. Sure enough, West Marine gave us a brand new heater without batting an eye. They certainly have an excellent exchange policy.
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.
