As David Gage mentioned in his post on the three-day thread. Lots going on.

Jose and Arnold hung in there with me until 10 pm and the port side is completely puttied and the decks 3/4 taped off. (Guess what Claudia gets to do tomorrow ;))

No pictures because other than the tape, there's not much visual progress. Also, I don't know where the camera or my cell phone is. I'm getting pretty tired.

The drape is back up around the boat, the concrete is soaked, and the humidifier is on high. I'd say since draping the boat on Sunday, she's taken up 80% of her potential.

Except for the weeping plank, which appears to be taking up nicely thank you ;), the couple of spots that leaked when we rinsed the inside appear to be directly related to some unnamed person's less than perfect caulking.... :o

The main issue tonight was that since we didn't have the port side puttied, the unputtied garboard was still dripping and the putty didn't like being mashed into a trickle of water.

I made sure there were no pockets of water anywhere and figure the last will run out by morning. I saved some caulk and that will be my first move. (Well after I pick up donuts for everyone....)

Good night and thank you all for your wonderful continued friendship, encouragement, and support.

- Margo & Sarah

Just spoke with Margo and Claudia. Sounds like things are progressing well. David is installing a hatch. Pumps are at hand. T minus 24 and counting.

According to Claudia, they'll be on the road by 8 AM Saturday.....
The truck arrives at 7, and out the door by 8.... I hope they bring a jar of Vaseline, because it's a tight fit!
WHEEEEEEE HOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
