Well, I'd finally finished the mast prep. Or maybe it was that I just gave up on getting it any better? Anyway.. The call was put out for Bob to come and get it. Talked to Nelson's Boatyard and they said "No problem bring it on by". Cool! Bob picked it up sometime in early March? That man is the picture of punctuality, You could set your clock by his trucking schedule. Truck, mast, loaded and gone!
All that needs to be done now is cut painful checks and everything will be handled by the professionals. Two weeks max and we'll be slicin' the wind and shredding waves!
Life would be boring if everything worked out just like we plan now wouldn't it?
As time passed I started wondering when the mast was going to get finished. I'd not heard a peep from the boatyard, so I went up there to check on progress.
Well, the boatyard took a few nasty hits this year. Then spring happened and they were buried in boats. Seeing what was going on I realized that there was no point in trying to rush 'em. They weren't being lax about it, they were literally head spinning buried.
Heck, there's other things than need to be done on the boat. And hey, we can take the kids camping on it in the marina. That would probably be fun!
