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.

Sunday, April 30, 1995 - Boqueron, Puerto Rico
Roy spent most of the day mounting the new spreader. He still has a lot to do to it, but at least it's up there.
I phoned my daughter Kathy. She told me her employer is going to pay her tuition to attend Golden Gate College to study accounting. The tuition there is $10,000 a year! Wow! When she completes her studies there, she's going to go to San Jose State for a Bachelor's in Accounting. When she gets her BA, she has practically been promised a job with an accounting firm that will provide her with the experience she needs to become a CPA. She wants to have her own business by the time she's in her fifties. That's really great. When I was thirty, it didn't occur to me I'd ever be fifty. I had an opportunity to become a CPA, but I turned it down. In fact, I had all kinds of opportunities that I passed up. I'm glad my children have more sense than I had.
Kathy has never received the letter from the Dominican Republic. Guess the postal clerk pocketed the money for the stamp and threw the letter in the wastebasket.
