Last week we said they are moving too fast and true enough they are now in construction mode. Whereas we are still in the destruction phase. The main thing is progress is happening.
Last night we found out the surveyor was leaving today and would be out of town for about five weeks. Luckily he was nice enough to take some time out this morning and come and inspect the underwater section of the boat and grab all the info he needed for that before his busy day of travel.
Interesting side note is we had met the surveyor a few months back. He spends his time between here and Florida. During his last trip down I told him we would need a survey in the July August timeframe and could he give us a card. He dropped it off with Pauline who promptly passed it to Mark. When Mark saw the name he said that he thought it was the Kevin who used to run Magic Dragon in Singapore back in the late eighties early nineties. A quick message off to him confirmed it. Interesting because during all of our previous conversations it never came up. Anyway he was impressed with the work so far. So that is a good sign.
Mark continued with his work but finally conceded that if we were going to get all we needed all accomplished we would need help. So off he went to find one of the yard managers to ask for quotes on help with the remaining projects. A blow to our ego that we couldn’t keep ahead of the game but good news in knowing that the end is nearing.
