Had a rather strange storm this morning. NOAA kept issuing both sea and land advisories. Between ten and eleven a.m. there were going to be severe thunder storms with strong winds and gusts to 50 MPH. Everyone was advised to seek shelter. We ended up with a couple of drops of rain, no thunder or lightning, and gusts of about 30. By noon, the sun was shining, but the wind continued to blow. It was a really beautiful, clear day.
Roy needed new shoes, too, so we rode the bus to Broward Mall. He bought an excellent pair at Sears for an unbelievably low price. Then he returned to the boat, and I took another bus to K-Mart, where I bought a few things. Then I went to a Publix and filled our two big shopping bags with groceries. Could scarcely carry them, but I finally made it back to the boat.
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.
