Well, the barge is STILL out of commision with a frozen starter,and work has yet to begin...it's only been two weeks since we got on the calendar for the repairs, but the shop is so busy they have not started the work yet.
I hope we can still salvage some of this season, as we normally run the boat until late October or early November. Even so, I can't believe we have lost all of spring and summer waiting for a few simple repairs to be completed (correctly).
I am capable of doing nearly all maintenance on the boat with the exception of the engine, and that is where we have had problems. I chose our marina because it has a service shop on site, but it seems that one must schedule their breakdowns a few months in advance in order to get fixed in time to use one's boat.
Paience is indeed a virtue, and greed and sloth (shortcuts) are still sins. Still, I am without use of my boat. still paying for the slip it sits in, insurance, registration, etc.
