HOLY COW DO YOU THINK WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT?
11 October 2009 | RB
We progress as if we are going to make it:
Engine and plumbing specialist:
heat exchanger DONE
water pump DONE
Purchase and stow stores - DONE
Freshwater Leak - locate and repair - DONE
run & connect sump hose to the sump pump in the forward head
oil cooler - NEW ISSUE BEING ADDRESSED; boat not operational yet
Hardtop Dodger - Frame and top installed; awaiting lexan
Meal planning - IN PROCESS
Prepare Emergency Information IN SPANISH
Those three things in the middle are the killers. If the oil cooler or dodger don't get done, we'll be late or have to abandon the plan. I'm about to panic. Every time I feel panic coming, I think "we are not terminally ill and this isn't the end of the world. If we don't make the Haha, we'll go to Catalina and then go visit my sister. We can go next year. We'll just refund everyone their plane tickets to/from Cabo!"
I will be TERRIBLY disappointed, and it will be heartily embarrassing, as numerous people have altered their own work or travel or vacation plans to participate.
It's crunch time.....hope these people come through....
