It got really hot today. In the 80's! It's hard to believe this is January.
Roy and I went to the weekly SSCA breakfast. It's at Warner's Cafe, over near State Road 84. The breakfast is scheduled for nine o'clock every Sunday morning, but the first bus on Sunday leaves the terminal at nine. Then when we get to 84, we have to walk half a mile, so it was 9:30 by the time we got there, and a lot of people were leaving, but we got to meet and talk with several very nice people. We found out where the inexpensive marinas are, so we'll check them out tomorrow. But nobody knew of a better yard than the one we've already found -- Lauderdale Yacht Basin.
We were going to buy some groceries on the way home, but the market was farther than I thought, so we returned to the boat. Roy tested the repaired alternator, and I wrote letters. Unfortunately, the alternator got very hot as soon as a load was put on it, so he'll have to take it back to the shop tomorrow.
At three o'clock, we went to Stacey's for lupper. As usual, it was delicious. There's a Winn-Dixie in the same shopping center, so we bought a few groceries. Caught the bus back just in the nick of time. There wouldn't have been another bus for 45 minutes.
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.
