Friday, December 30, 1994 - St. Augustine, FL

Today was just wet enough to keep me from varnishing but not wet enough to put water in the tank. I kept wishing it would either pour or clear up completely, but it stayed gray and damp and warm all day.
I rode my bike to the Post Office, hoping my mail from Kathy would be here, but it wasn't. Hauled a big load of clothes to the laundromat. This turned out to be the wrong day to do laundry. It seems there's a superstition in the south that you mustn't let the New Year find you with dirty clothes in the house, so half the population of seven counties was there with everything they owned that was washable. I practically had to fight for machines, but I finally managed to get everything washed and dried.
Roy spent most of the day connecting the TV to the new inverter. He sold the old inverter to the radar repairman for $25. The radar repairman said the part for the radar would be here Tuesday.
It was after three when I got back from the laundry, and neither of us had had lunch, so we rode our bikes to Mom and Pop's Buffet for lupper. It was nearly as good as Stacey's. Got back to the boat just before dark.
