Hmmm

Talked yesterday with both the marina manager and the guy who is doing the work on the prop and prop shaft, as well as the thru hull fittings. The boat came out of the water on Friday. It turns out that the bottom of the boat is suffering from more neglect than we anticipated. Will find out tomorrow whether or not they can get the work done on the boat by the time we expected to be in FL and whether the problems with the bottom of the boat are going to drive the expense beyond our immediate means. Will know more tomorrow when I talk with them again to get their best estimates (which I hope that they are working on this weekend).

Needless to say we are disappointed that we might not be down there by the end of next week and that we might have to put the trip off for a while. Lara has moved heaven and earth in her practice to accomodate this schedule, which included shoving two big juvenile trials into the middle of February -- in back to back weeks. :(
