An absolutely beautiful day. Warm and sunny but not hot. There is a lovely mile-long walk along the river here, so I strolled down it to SE 3rd Avenue. I wanted to go to Glendale Federal and arrange for a withdrawal. To my amazement, I discovered that all the Glendale Federal Banks in Florida have been taken over by Barnett Bank. There are still Glendale Federals in California, however. A very nice Customer Service Representative at Barnett tried to find my account on the computer but couldn't, so I'll have to write to California.
Took a bus back to the big shopping area. Bought a new pair of shoes at Sears and saw a good movie. It was called "Nell" and starred Jodie Foster.
Roy bought a new, more powerful alternator. He's going to keep the old one as a backup, however. Now he has a lot more work to do to install the new alternator.
He's completed the job of rigging up the new starting system. We can now start the engine even if we lose the key. But no one else can. We also don't need to worry about the batteries being dead.
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.
