The good news is that the repairs are done and we are back in the water. We are very pleased with the work that was done and have no concerns about the repair. The final bill was even a little less than the estimate WOW! how often does that happen. All in all good work for a fair price can't beat that. We had forgotten how dirty the boat gets being on the hard in a boatyard. So we have lots of cleaning to do. Kim also did some painting in Cate's area while she was off the boat so that added to the mess. Kim and I both rapped up some of our projects with DDM yesterday, we just have just a few little things to do but that will not take long. Cate is still at my Moms and does not come back until the 24th so we have a few days to enjoy before we start our next projects. I have a couple of one day jobs to do with DDM and a big project for PAHO. Kim has another project with DDM but it is similar to the one she just finished so it should go smooth. Plan to spend a few days just enjoying being on the boat before we head to St Thomas and pickup Cate.
