By morning, the cartons had dried out, so we packed the rest of our clothes. Roy taped the cartons, and I addressed them and phoned the Pack-and-Ship place to pick them up. Then I left for my doctor's appointment. The doctor gave me a couple more prescriptions. He wants me to continue taking the sulfa drug for four months, so I'll try to buy a four-month supply before we leave.
After a considerable struggle and some advice from the yard manager, Roy pulled the drive shaft. He wanted to replace the cutlass bearing, but saw that the shaft was worn and grooved, so it will have to be replaced. The yard has an arrangement with a machine shop, so they phoned them and someone from the shop came over and picked up the shaft. It probably won't be ready until Monday, so we won't be able to leave until Tuesday or Wednesday.
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.
