What glorious weather! Couldn't be nicer. Warm, clear, sunny, with a pleasant breeze to keep it from getting too hot. If it weren't for the hurricanes and high prices, this would be an ideal place to live.
Phoned the post office and found out there was mail for me, so I went over there. To my joy, there was a whole bunch of important mail, including our Delaware registration, which we need before entering another country. There was also a quote from an insurance agent I've been in contact with and a big packet of mail from Kathy. I was surprised to receive a diskette from Hans Pieper, who wrote the Tides23 program that is so useful. This diskette contains a navigation program. Unfortunately, when I tried to read the READ.ME file, my computer hung up and wiped out the contents of the file. I haven't figured out how that happened. Of course, it was my fault for not copying the file first. The rest of the files are intact, so I'll be sure and copy them before I do anything else with them.
Roy has been having fun using some gloppy red stuff to bind the ends of lines and keep them from fraying. Of course, he ended up with red all over his arms and clothes and the deck.
I applied another coat of varnish to the aft toe-rails, and then Roy messed up part of it. Grrrrr.....
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.
