crunch time

the only good thing about stress between Mom and Uncle Bert over the boat is that it has nothing to do with me! (for once!) everything is fine, but there are moments of tension because the work is sometimes so tedious and the various and sundry parts suppliers and sub-contractors for the incredibly important parts (gee, like the rigging) are falling behind, losing stuff, sending the wrong thing, etc. its like any renovation job...great fun to imagine and plan, ok at the start and by the end...a huge headache. i swear, nothing causes divorce faster than a renovation or new build...house or boat.
