Settling up with the boat yard

On Sunday we took a ride down to the bay and to visit Olsen Boat Works.  John was there on a Sunday and had my seasonal bill ready and my estimate on repairing Lil Provo.  John told me to send him  a check and I pulled out my checkbook and paid him on the spot.  I don't like these things hanging out there, specially after the season is over by a month.  I know he can use the cash to pay the guys who work there.  He is such a great guy and he hass really looked out for my interests over the past couple years.  When I have had a problem, he has been the problem solver.

I am working on my list of things I must complete on Lil Provo over the winter.  Once I complete it I'll post it and keep track of my progress.  Over the next two weeks I will need to cover her.  I don't like the idea of snow sitting on her.  I will buy a tarp and put the mast ontop and lash the tarp down over the mast.

That's it for now.

Still waiting!

It has been weeks since the boat was taken out of the water.  I still have not received a quote on the repairs and have not been able to file a claim to the insurance company.  I will be taking a ride down there on Saturday to see what is going on.  I have decided that I will buff out the side with the damage and just address the few deep scraps.  I will repaint the side strip and replace the rub rail that was torn off.  I am hoping that the boat yard still sells me a replacement Jib.  I will keep you posted.
