Another clear, sunny day. We took the afternoon off and had some fun. At one o'clock, we walked down to Stacey's Buffet Restaurant and ate lunch. Then we rode the bus downtown to visit Nauticus, the maritime exhibition hall that was under construction last spring and has since opened. They had many, many interesting exhibits. We especially enjoyed a movie called "The Living Sea". It was terrific. We also enjoyed watching a moving model of a container loader.
Got back to the boat around 8:30 and watched the TV program about the Dionne quintuplets. We both remember their birth very well. Roy was eleven and I was eight when they were born. They were all over the news for years. It was interesting to see on tonight's news that three of them are still alive and well. My favorite, Emilie, died when she was only twenty, and another died at thirty-six.
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.
