It goes.
The major snags is the stuff lost by the yard - my
electrical spares box and the white battery box that had bolts etc. for
the engine re-assembly. It's peak season here and getting the attention
of the mechanics has been an issue.
A key ring adapter for the
transmission was 'lost'. Turned up at the machinist's shop, been
sitting there for 15 months - mechs forgot and didn't pass on what was
to happen. Got it back, refitted, found the problem (sloppy fit), back
to the mech, the machinist and now a fix is in the pipeline - fix being
make up a new part that fits. Takes time, everyone is busy.
So, the
boat goes on out to the mooring without the engine but they say they'll
have it running when I get back from Mom. Meanwhile, I've got the fuel
and water systems back together - major exercise. The insides are going back in,
still have to make up new compartment dividers but that isn't a huge
job.
Into the lazarette to deal with the mass of ropes - going to make a
couple of bins at the forward end for an anchor line each feeding
through a hawse pipe into the cockpit, then a decent sized chain and
rope locker in the forepeak (once I can get in there when the center
storage area is rebuilt) - so another week at least of work.
