I thought I'd gotten over my defugalties, but at three o'clock in the morning, here they came again. I had planned on going to Providence today, but I called it off. Walked over to the drugstore and made some phone calls. In the afternoon, I felt well enough to go to Dartmouth Mall and see a movie. It was a lot of fun, even though the plot was full of holes. It was a good kids' movie, called "Squanto". It was about a Patuxet brave in the early 1600's.
Roy spent most of the day mounting the anchor winch he bought in California. He mounted it in the stern, so we can use a stern anchor if we need to or winch ourselves off if we go aground. (Who, us? We never go aground!)
The wind finally made it into the inner harbor. It's been blowing like crazy out of the southwest. Tomorrow's supposed to be more of the same, but on Thursday it should shift to the northwest, so maybe we'll have a chance to get out of here.
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.
