Latest Progress Report on the Manana
I was able to get down to the Vinette Boatworks and check on progress and drop off items they needed that were shipped to our office. Manana, still does not mean "Tomorrow" as early hoped, but more like the second meaning of, "Some time in the near future." Our new launch date has been pushed back to mid-July. The next stop was at the Escanaba Marina to see if dock space was still available for us, for the rest of the season. Things at this point still look good for either slip 110 or 112. It was decided that the total work will not be complete, but the boat will be ready for sailing this year and in next winters lay up, a list of other work will be completed. What I have seen so far, is excellent work and it is hard to say the wait will be worth it, but I can't say much else. We will consider the rest of this season as a Shake Down Cruise and add to the work list for the winter.
