Wellllla _ our keel st5uck, batteries were dead but AC works, Grandma is
happy.  We have no Genny yet,  lost keel pin en route,  raising mast took
chunk out of cabin top due to no tabernacle but still love the boat.  Slept
on her     last night great for 3 + 2 English Bulls.  Stove does its work,
head &H2O heater also fine but we still hve some issues - Battery 1 is dead
and so far will not acept charge,  Murphys Law?.  Hake forgot to give us a
shore power cord, key for the deck plates for the H2O & waste but  but, but.
Glen - need your BFH appoach for the GD keel, they should have a limit
switch or somwthing.  Will is going to CT tomorrow (Fri) to help Michael rig
his - Hope & Pray all is well.  Trip to Fl ( Stuart) 3000 miles boat was not
ready as anticipated, delay 3 1/2 days but got to use Nicks Pursuit 2460 in
Stuartr while we were cooloning our heels (Please remembersince it has been
