The radar man came by again and was very apologetic. He said first the factory had told him they'd ship the motor Friday. Then they said they'd ship it Monday. On Monday, the told him they'd ship it Wednesday. Now it's turned out, they not only haven't shipped it, they don't even have it and don't know when they'll be able to get it! Terrific. Roy had just about made up his mind to leave without it and try to buy another radar in Fort Lauderdale, when the radar man came back again to say his secretary had phoned around and located one somewhere. Supposedly, it will be shipped today and will get here Friday. We'll wait and see.
In the morning, I applied another coat of varnish. After lunch,I pulled the dirty clothes to the laundromat and washed them. The place wasn't crowded this time, so I had no problem getting washers and dryers. Got back to the boat just before dark.
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.
