Roy took the malfunctioning inverter and radar to Schafer and Brown Electronics for repair. Then he returned to the boat and put up the sunshade.
I went in and strolled along the main street. This is a pleasant resort town. Was delighted to find a laundromat! Now I can wash our mountain of dirty clothes. I also found the Post Office and mailed some mail. Bought some postcards and groceries on the way back.
Chatted with the couple on Pegasus. They've been here since January 28th, so they really know the area. They provided me with a lot of valuable information.
After lunch, I took a load of dirty clothes to the laundromat and washed them. Roy came in just as I was finishing and carried them back to my Royak. Then he walked around town while I returned to the boat and put the clothes away.
Roy stopped by Schafer and Brown and found out they can't repair the inverter and radar or even test them, but they'll UPS them to the manufacturers for us, so we spent the evening writing letters to accompany the units. Since tomorrow everything shuts down at noon for the Easter weekend, the units won't go out until Monday. Oh well, we couldn't have picked a pleasanter place to be stuck in. However, 50,000 rambunctious students are expected to descend on the place for spring break.
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.
