Another warm, sunny day, so I got another coat of varnish on and still had a couple of hours to paddle up the San Sebastian River. St. Augustine consists of two narrow strips on both sides of the river. The boatyard we're at is at the southern end of the east side. We have to cross the river to get to stores. We're not sure exactly where downtown is, or even if there is a downtown.
Roy got his glasses repaired and picked up some groceries. The radar repairmen came while he was gone, so it was lucky I was here. They were two hours early, and I was just about to leave to go Royaking. Half an hour later, Roy returned, so I left. The radar man is going to phone Raytheon and see if he can get a replacement for the defective part. He'll let us know tomorrow.
The canvas woman came while I was gone. She only charged $30 for replacing the zipper. Prices around here are very reasonable. She's going to give us an estimate for making a canvas sunshade for the boat. We'll need it in the Caribbean.
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.
