Wednesday 2-24 Day 6

We get up early and by 8am they are back working on the boat. Paul starts working on the hull to try to bring back the color.
I pull out my sewing machine and make more screens for all the heads and replacement screens for the port companionway and above the stove.

Brian from Offshore Marine shows up to replace the engine harnesses on both sides to see if we can get the start and stop buttons and the gauges to work again. It is quoted to us that it should take about 2 hrs. per engine. By 1:30pm Brian is almost finished with the stbd engine. He heads out to lunch and upon return finishes that engine and begins the port engine. The stbd engine had a number of issues with the wiring. TMM when something wouldn't work would just cut the wires and add new wires. It was a mess. By 4:30 Brian is done.

At this point we still have not seen our new shaft and assorted components. Paul goes to check as to what it happening and finds that they have started working on something else instead of finishing our shaft and a new shaft nut that was determined to be needed. Gene the owner, is ticked off because they need to put us back in the water first thing Thursday along with Lisa & Andy's boat because of the 145ft. boat that needs a prop put on. Gene tells the guys to work late and they say that they will be back at 6am to finish up.

At 5pm Andy from the sailboat Zingaro proceeds to ask me a business question. He has a QuickBooks problem and can't back-up his file because it is corrupt. I tell him "no problem" I can fix it easily. Well, 2 hrs later and an hour on the phone with Intuit tech support I finally repair his file. It is now 7pm and we have dinner and head to bed with the knowledge of an early start.
