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, November 13, 1995 - Trinidad
Itching not as bad as yesterday, but still annoying. Put more stuff on the bites. I hope they're bites. Maybe I'm allergic to some plant I came into contact with in the rain forest and broke out in a rash. But it's strange that most of it is in the middle part of my body, which was totally covered. There's none on my legs and arms. Maybe I'm allergic to something in the lunch we ate at the center. I know there were foods and spices I've never ingested before.
Yesterday, I transposed two digits of the P.O. Box number I left for Steve, so this morning I bought a 60 TT card at Powerboats and phoned Steve. Luckily, he was home, so I gave him the correct number.
For three or four days, I've been trying to varnish the toerails that I sanded a few days ago, but it always rains just enough to keep me from doing it. Happened again today.
Tim and Viv's boat, Jalanath, was supposed to be hauled this afternoon, but it's been postponed until tomorrow. As soon as they haul out, we'll move into their space at the dock.
