Printed the most recent section of the log. Rode a bus to a copy place that had a special of two cents a copy and printed the ten copies for practically nothing. Unfortunately, the print quality was terrible, but I sent them out anyway. Had a typo in the next to last paragraph; "I" should have been "it".
On the way back, I stopped in the Public Library and wandered around goggle-eyed. Never in my life have I seen such a library! It's eight stories high. You can stand in the center of the ground floor and look all the way up. Everything is high tech. There are zillions of computers, there's a restaurant, a stamp machine, a gift shop, an auditorium. There are probably even books around someplace.
I went to the library to try to find out if there's going to be an AARP 55 Alive course in the area in the near future. I had a perfect opportunity to take it last fall in Fairhaven, but I didn't realize my three years were up until I got my insurance bill. If I take the course every three years, I get a 5% discount on my insurance, so now I'm kicking myself for not taking it.
The Fort Lauderdale Library told me to call the Lauderdale Lakes Library, so I did. They gave me another number to call. Found out there'll be a class in Coconut Park February 16th and 23rd. Trouble is, I doubt that we'll be here then. Still, there's a chance that we might be, and it's only $8, so I'll probably register for it.
Roy talked with the Dockmaster and found out there might be an opening at Cooley's Landing tomorrow. That will be terrific if we can get in there. We'd be right by the restrooms, showers, and laundry instead of having to walk a mile each way.
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.
