[C320-list] Good News / Bad News

[Allan S. Field]

   Troy - It's likely one of the guys you saw scurrying around today was
   me!  I was they guy who power-washed the hull, waxed the starboard side
   and put the first coat of bottom paint on while the marina staff was
   taking off the old name, fixing a leak on the port side fixed port
   light and using a crane, lifting new 4D AGM's onto the boat.  I'll be
   back down on Sunday so if around, please stop by.  As for the dink,
   there is some confusion as to where it is.  But we can discuss the
   Honda motor which, as you noted, is still on the boat and I won't be
   using.  The new name - Sea Shadow (actually, this will be my 3rd SS) -
   goes on Tuesday. - Allan

   Congrats! I saw her up on the hard today. The Tidewater folks were
   scurrying about with various tasks. I noticed a guy with a heat gun
   removing the old lettering...
   If you don't have a use for the dink and Honda motor that came with
   your
   new boat I'd consider making an offer.
   We will be down at the boat all day tomorrow.
