more Jazz. ^[[The]] Hotel Restaurant good. The others crowded and [[underlined]] service [[/underlined]] is very [[underlined]] casual. Waiters lack [[/underlined]] the [[underlined]] politeness of Vienna [[/underlined]] or [[underlined]] Budapest [[/underlined]] and certainly of Stockholm. [[strikethrough]] Cana [[/strikethrough]] Well protected harbor several jetties. Then one or two canals in which ships enter town. Long walk along water front. There is a [[underlined]] Yacht Club. [[/underlined]] Some racing sail boats as everywhere a few cruising boats. Several of the yachts [[underlined]] belong to Germans [[/underlined]] A rather strong steady wind is blowing regularly and ships with even moderate sail glide rather fast over the water.

Transcription Notes:
I use the word 'underlined' with a 'd' because that it is my understanding from the instructions. It appears to be a waste of time to reopen and edit just to remove the 'd' from the word 'underlined'. If I review a page and the transcriber does not add a 'd' I don't reopen to change.
