Not so Hopefull Now

We were all being positive especially when I collected sails, water pump, box of strange bits Frank ordered and outboard engine for dinghy! All we needed was for the boat to go back in the water BUT its still up in its cradle in the yard! The small hole we found in the keel is still weeping water and needs to be dry before we can finish the bottom repaint! Bum! We also still need to have an extra sail track fitted to the mast for flying the storm sails but they don't want to do that until the boat is in the water.
Still - what else can possibly go wrong ? ? ? ? ?
Never mind - we all still remain positive as we only have the engine to service, the sails to be hung on the rig, install the water pump for the water maker and to stow our clothing ready for when the boat leaves on the delivery trip which is June 28.
Just going out to buy 17 cans of rice pudding and 20 bread mixes! ARGH! Fresh bread followed by cold rice pudding just the thing for storm sailing!
