Build Day 58

Day 58 of the build of "Alanne".  I'm having that strange feeling called déjà vu.  Our visit today to see how the build was going mirrored last weeks visit.  The boat is still rusting under the railway arch and there is no sign of any work around the boat.  We went to the office to speak to Alan McNaughton.  Luckily he wasn't at work today.  If he had been there I am certain I would have told him to stick the boat in a place where the sun doesn't shine.  The poor secretary in the office did her best to field my angry questions.  Another customer was in the office and offered to try and find out what was planned for our boat.  This guy was a fleet buyer and had purchased many boats from Collingwood Boats and had experienced the same problems as us.  He found the team who would be fitting our boat, but the news wasn't good.  They believe it will be at least 3 weeks before they get to our boat.  So it looks like we will not see our boat till June, or am I being optimistic.  I am so close to cancelling.  Perhaps I was not destined to have a boat.  The loss of Lucy and the false start with the wrong boat may have been an omen.
