The packing gland is now functioning correctly. Just a tiny trickle of water is coming in.
We took the bus downtown and made the rounds of the marine supply stores, pricing radars. The best price was at West Marine. They had the new Raytheon LCD 9 radar for $1599, which was $99 less than at Boat/U.S.
By then it was 2:30 and I was famished. We rode the bus to Stacey's and pigged out. I phoned the surveyor and found out we could pick up a copy of the survey at the office, so we went out there after lunch and got it. Then we returned to West Marine and bought the new radar. We each paid for half of it.
What a lovely evening! The temperature was perfect and the air felt so caressing. There was a very bright full moon. We sat on the deck and enjoyed.
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.
