Grenada - Haulout week 2

[Kevin's Post]Today is launch day. But we're not launching. In ten working days, the yard has not completed a single task on the work list. Since my last post, the only thing that they have done is paint half the boot stripe. On Wednesday, they were ready to paint when the guy in the boat behind us announced that he needed to put his boat in the water. That meant that they had to stop working on our boat, pick it up, and move it out of the way so they could get to his boat. After that was done, they realized they didn't have the color of paint I wanted. Thursday morning it rained and all the masking got wet and pulled off the boat. After it dried out and they remasked, they finally started painting the boot stripe. About 5 minutes into painting somebody walked past the boat and stepped on the spray nozzle of a water hose spraying water all over the wet paint on the starboard hull ruining it. So the painter could only paint the port hull, and had to wait overnight for the starboard hull to dry enough to be sanded and repainted. This morning of course it rained again, so they had to pull all the masking off and remask. That's where it stands now. It looks like it is going to rain some more, so they are waiting for the skies to clear some. The yard still hasn't received the saildrive parts they need to reinstall our saildrives, despite ordering them 2 months ago (they say). I've inquired about them 3 times and every time they assure me the parts will be here "today". We checked out of the hotel this morning and are now living on the boat in the boatyard until the job is finished. The sad thing is, even with all these problems, this has still been one of our better haulouts.
