April 12-18 - We are still here although the welder has begun the work. He has manufactured the rail and has spent most of today welding it together and cleaning up his welds. I'm not sure he will be back tomorrow or not. To our surprise he did come back on Saturday and finished the rest of the work on the railing. He is now finished and we can now have the paint guy come in and do his thing.
We had wonderful news from Bonnie this morning, Charlie had a heart valve replacement done. He is apparently doing well and his heart is becoming stronger, amazing everyone by his progress. He is scheduled to go back to Sonata on Monday as his procedure was non-evasive as they went through a vein in his leg.
We went to visit Charlie at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville today and when we entered the room he was sitting in a lounge chair and looked amazing considering he just had the procedure 2 days ago. We visited him for a couple of hours and then headed back to Manana. Early Monday morning the painter arrived and filled in our damaged areas with apoxy and said it had to dry so he can sand it and then paint.
Dave felt energenic today and waxed the hull of Manana. We also had a diver come in today and clean the bottom of Manana and our dingy as they have not been cleaned since we were in Dunedin. It looks like if everything goes as planned we may be out of here by the weekend. We have been talking with Bill and Bobby from Mist and they are on their way towards us. It will be great to meet up with them again as it has been awhile.
