Happy Birthday to Jay!

Today is Jay's 34th birthday. We hope you enjoy your time this weekend with the rest of the family. Wish we could be there.

Tuesday: They pulled the boat out of the water and soda blasted the bottom.

Wednesday: They painted the bottom of the boat and sent the props out to be reworked. John and I installed a new, longer ladder on the swim platform and replaced all of the bolts on the swim platform because they were rusting.

Today: They put our spare set of props on and new zincs. They put the windlass back on and then put the boat back in the water. A guy (John) came and fixed one spot where the tape pulled off the veneer finish in the V- berth. The other spot is up to John to fix. They took the window out that they cracked. They put us in a covered slip. It's soooo much cooler here. Now it's time to start putting the boat back together inside and out. Today John scrubbed outside and I concentrated on the galley. Everything has to be scrubbed as there is so much dust and sawdust everywhere. It feels like we may be ready to go sometime during the weekend. However, I don't think Norm and Sue will be because the work just began today on the portholes on the starboard side of their boat. We hope it won't take much longer.
