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.

Monday, May 1, 1995 - Boqueron, Puerto Rico
I went in to Mayaguez Mall and bought some vegetables and stuff. You'd think there'd be an abundance of fruits and vegetables at low prices on this tropical island, but they seem to import nearly everything from the United States, and it's expensive, but at least there's no sales tax. It's sort of a shock to buy something and pay exactly what the price tag says.
Around noon, I phoned Statpower. They had just received the inverter! The guy at IPS told me last Monday that they would deliver it the following day. Great service. Anyway, it's finally there. Noreen told me she's given it top priority. They'll check it out and test it right away. I'm to phone back Wednesday afternoon for the verdict.
At suppertime, Roy and I decided to take tomorrow off and see if we can get to Salinas by publico. We're thinking of moving the boat to Salinas and want to know if we can get back here by publico to pick up the inverter and mail.
