Rained all day today. Not a downpour, but a steady, drenching rain. We filled the water tank and hung around the boat. I'm kicking myself for not going Royaking on Monday, when the sun was shining, wet waders or no wet waders. I sure hope I get a chance to go at least once before we leave. This is such a neat place to explore.
We might decide to go down the ICW to Charleston instead of out to sea. It would take a lot longer, but we'd see some new scenery and be safe from the big waves.
Roy changed the oil and filter today, and finally figured out how to do it without making a mess! This Perkins 4-108 engine has the oil filter upside down, so when you remove it, no matter how careful you are, some of the dirty oil spills. Roy has been muttering about it for a long time, but at long last he developed a technique for removing the filter without spilling any oil.
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.
