Sunshine! The wind is still blowing some, and the bay is still full of whitecaps and waves, but the rain has quit, the sky is blue, the temperature is climbing, and the sun is shining.
Roy continued working on the heater and the table. I took the bus downtown and strolled around the waterfront, enjoying the warm sunshine. How lovely everything looked! The grass is still green, the river is blue, the trees have leaves on them, the world is beautiful. Even the old junk boat that was there last spring is still anchored near the other side of the Elizabeth River.
Tried to phone Linda. Talked with her answering machine. Had better luck reaching Kathy. She told me Bill wanted me to phone him, so I did. Guess who's going to be a grandma again! Bill and Laura are expecting a baby in June!
On the way home, I ran off a copy of the last survey to send to a potential insurance agent. (The SSCA insurance underwriter is no longer permitted to insure boats, so we're trying to find new coverage -- so far without much success.) I also bought a bunch of groceries.
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.
