We have been in an alternative universe at the boatyard this week, where "yes" means "maybe" and "maybe" means "no" (kind of like in Honduras). When trying to determine when work will be done, Tuesday morning meant Wednesday afternoon and today could be anytime in the next week. In any event, the old generator and engine were removed and the new Westerbeke is sitting in the engine room (thanks to the muscle of three men and a pulley on an A-frame.) Now Dean has to hook it up and figure out how to attach the refrigerator compressor and the hydralic get-home system.
I finally cried "Uncle!" and retreated to the comfort of Peg and Mark's home where I am comfortably ensconced with wireless internet (not an option at the boatyard), 56 inch TV with HBO, Showtime, etc, a balcony overlooking the Arboretum, and a steam room. Not to mention a kitchen with all the bells and whistles. It's a welcome break and I am enjoying it thoroughly.
