Back Again!!!!

SHIP'S LOG:

Sorry that it has been such a long time between posts, but there really has been a lot going on . . . . . . at least as regards ABISHAG. She is covered with snow, really covered now, and patiently awaits the onset of spring and warmer weather.

The Insurance company came through with a check for $10,221 for their portion of the repairs. i hand delivered the check as it was made out to me and not the people doing the work. It was a chance to meet them and Sheila & Dave Roxburgh seem to be a very knowledgeable husband and wife team of fiberglass repair technicians. Dave noted that if the masts had been removed from ABISHAG for winter storage they would have moved her into the shop and would have done the work there. It would already have been completed but with the 52foot Mainmast on top of a 10 foot span from the bottom of the keel to the top of the cabin, they couldn't squeeze her inside. So the work will have to await the onset of spring weather . . . . which is a good thing as I don't have the 3.2 Marine Units to cover the deductible right now.


MASTER'S PERSONAL LOG:

It has been more than a little depressing recently. It seems that things haven't been going as well as I had hoped. Finances have gotten to the point that I have had to employ a non-profit debt service organization to get a handle on my finances. It cost me two credit card accounts which had to be closed and will take five years to pay off. It will make for some rather interesting financial adventures if the threatened halving of income comes to fruition. It would make things a lot better, at least financially, if the condo could be sold but, while people have looked, not one has made an offer. It bothers me that I am expending so much concern over finances and making ends meet but I guess I am just one of the many others who find themselves in the same situation. I have just got to put it in God's hands and believe that God will make it all right in his own way and at his own time.
