Last week our masts arrived. While the mast steps were being installed, the Rigger noticed the deck was spungie. The boat had to come back out of the water (another week delay) and the old deck ground out and repaired. Then, we looked at our beautiful new masts and they were "appliance white" not the oyster white we ordered. Back to the mast maker and another week delay. The used sails we bought are too big for the new masts, so another $1,000 to fix them and another week delay. When we filled the water tank, it leaks like a sprinkler and the refrigerator doesn't work either.
Yes, sometimes things move slowly, but the final product looks sooooo good. All the people involved promise the Andalucia will be ready for Catalina Island by Easter. We can only hope, and we do.
