[C320-list] Ordering time and Where is Manzanillo

[Steven Magennis]

1:  Manzanillo is on the west coast of Mexico.  It is pronbably beinf
trans-shipped because the boat carrier doesn't have a direct route from
LA to Sydney (There is a boat transport company that serves up and down
the coasts of the Americas, and also goes from the Americas to the far
East).  Catalina is probably using them for your boat.

2:  As for the length of time to make your boat, I don't know.  Mine
(#909) was delivered in March, '02 one month after I ordered it. 
Perhaps your order was caught up in the move from California to Flordia
for the manufacture of the C-320, or perhaps (as we all hope), the
factory is busy pumping out more of these great boats.
