Last night, the wind shifted to the north, bringing cold air, rain, and strong gusts. We are very lucky we got here when we did; a few more hours and we'd have been caught in this storm. There are small-craft warnings all up and down the coast, with 35-knot gusts and 10-foot waves. This is a good time to be tied to a dock in a sheltered harbor, with dockside electricity to run our electric heaters and a sturdy doghouse to keep us dry and warm.
Roy relaxed for once and enjoyed a pleasant indoor day. I also stayed indoors, playing with my computer.
The rain let up in the evening, so we walked to a nearby restaurant for a buffet supper. Stacey's it wasn't, but it was okay.
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.
