Waiting for repairs

The boat is all painted but we are still waiting for repairs to our stabilizers. The yard tried to work on them today but did not get to far since they don't know anything about this system and I don't have a manual for them. So we are going to try a get a guy from another boat yard in Seattle to come up this week. He sounds like he's worked on these before. So we are passing the time finding little things to fix. I ran out of sandpaper today and none of the stores close by carry the kind I need for my sander. I should have brought a small motorcycle instead of a bicycle. Will post again when there is more to report.
Regards, Russ,Pat,and Maddie

  2. Saturday has come and gone. Do you have water or asphalt under your keel?

  3. We finally got someone here today from Seattle to work on the boat. We were able to get the stabilizer apart on the starboard side that was froze up. He took some of the parts back to his shop to work on them and will be back on Wednesday. We hope to be back in the water on Thursday about 1:00pm.Living in a boat yard is getting real old. Russ
