Over the last couple of months we have given the boatbuilders a few phone calls. Kevin is back at work now, he took longer to recover from his op than he'd expected but is getting back up to speed now.
But basically they haven't done any more to Oleanna than when we saw her in August. The six boats ahead of us hopefully are being worked on. Wherever we go someone always asks us "How's it going?" A bit depressing really thinking that if all had gone to plan we'd be around London somewhere now, having spent Christmas moored five minutes walk across Victoria Park from my brothers house.
We were thinking that maybe Easter she'd be ready, but now more likely to be June. But who really knows. It's getting hard now with my work as I don't want to not be earning if we are still at home, but work tends to get offered three to six months in advance in my world. I also don't want to hold up setting off due to a show opening a fortnight later, when all we'll want to do is pootle to our hearts content.
We wait and we wait.
