We Really Have Made Progress

Ok, I know it's been a long time since I have posted. It is just because so much has been going on. Family additions, family visits and work. Yeah, if we only didn't have to go to work...
So, to recapture all that has happened.

1. Our Sea Ray is for sale. It is a little sad. We ordered this boat back in 2005. We traveled to Tennesse to the Sea Ray factory to see it being built. And she,Bon Dia has served us well. We've spent many, many nights on her. We made her a good home in Lake Travis Marina. We partied on her. Had family visits on her. And now it's time to find her a new owner. It's not good to own two boats, not healthy for our pocketbook.



2. Our new boat, the Manatee, spent a little while longer in the boat yard, than we expected. A few more issues were identified to be corrected. So, we would go each weekend possible, to visit her. We put some additional things on her when we could. Some things for the galley, some linens, floats, etc. But then came the time that they guys had to work in the engine compartment which meant removing the floor panels and climbing in and out of the engine area and scrubbing around on our great looking teak floor. So, Philip did a great job of covering up as much as possible with carboard, brown paper and tape. Then when the guys started having to work with fiberglass, they put big sheets of plastic all over everything. At that point, our visits could only be one the outside. No more climbing up the ladder and over the sides.
