It's shrinking!! Good golly Jim, it's shrinking!!  He he.... some of you have sick minds.. I meant the to do list on the boat! :-)  We have word that the cockpit is done and the sponson is soon to follow. They told us another week and we should be able to pick it up! Yah!! Soooo I finished the scoop and pedals last night, itch like all out. I love working with the fiberglass, but does it have to itch so darn bad?! I need to finish fixing the cracks in the seat, and Jim needs to finish both motors, I think that one is done, but the way the words were flying around the shop last night, I'm thinking the second one isn't. Other than that, there isn't much else we can do until we have the boat back. We have everything that we need to fix it, so we shouldn't have to be running all over the island and internet finding whatever. So I guess that I will keep keeping you updated, and let you know when we get the boat back! Have a grand one!

Well we went to a race this weekend. Unfortunately, the boat didn't go with us. Gotta tell you, it really sucks going to a race and not being in it. I could feel my heart pumping and was telling Jim (who was standing next to me) the countdown and how many boats and where they were. Doesn't do any good if he is on shore with me, seeing what I see. Not to mention the fact that I probably looked like a moron. I really didn't think that I would miss this as much as I do. What I can't imagine is how much Jim must miss it. It had to really suck watching our class go out, and him not being in it. Well, it was a good weekend though. It gave everyone the chance to tell us what they saw, heard, felt. Lots of versions let me tell you! I don't know that we really got the same story twice. I did get to met the lady who took the pic of the boat in the air. What a nice lady!! And really quick reflexes! So an update on the boat. It is in Seattle, from the sounds of it, not much had been done. Sucks. We don't have a clue when it will be done, but my visions of BlackLake are rapidly fading. Sucks. Oh well, on the flip side of it all, my house is clean, yard is mowed, I even have washed my truck more that once! This is not normal!! Well, chat at you all later, have a grand day!!

Well, the boat goes to the shop on Tuesday! Yah!! wonder how long it will take to fix? hummm...

So the decks are on, we are hoping to glass them on Monday, if the glass shows up. We still have to cut the decks around the cockpit so they can easily get to it. It sounds like they are also going to be fixing the sponson. That really saves alot of work for us, and being the company is so busy right now, this is a real mind reliever. The motor will be done and ready to go when we get the boat back. So now all that is left to fix is.... the seat, pedals, motor, scoop, seltbelts, radio, sanding and priming, and then reassembling everything back in the boat... not much right? Ouch! this is still going to take a while folks! Black Lake is coming up fast, and it is still 5 weeks away! Ouch. On the flip side, the rudder, helmet, props, and....and.....(ok, that is all I can think of) are all ready to go!
