Someone tried to steal Roy's bicycle last night. He could tell because it had been pulled way back out of its normal position, but it was still firmly attached to the propeller shaft. Roy figures they'll come back tonight with cable cutters, so he's going to carry his bike up to the deck every night from now on. That will be a nuisance but a lot better than having it stolen. It will only be for a few nights anyway, because we plan on going back into the water Monday morning. Then, if the weather's favorable and the boat doesn't sink, we'll head south Tuesday morning. Warm air, here we come!
This was the pleasantest day we've had in quite a while. There wasn't a cloud in the sky, and the sun was bright and warm. Got all the way up to the low 60's.
In the morning, Roy rode his bike to Boat/U.S. for another can of bottom paint. In the afternoon, he just about completed the painting. I continued plotting our course to Morehead City (we're going to take the ICW after all; trying to go around Hatteras would mean opposing winds and currents all the way), and also did some programming.
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.
