We just have bottom paint to apply to Kilifi before we can get her afloat. Pete and I are going to apply the paint ourselves (we just like dressing up in overalls and masks really!) and hopefully we could have her in the water by Wednesday.
However, there seems to be a pattern of taking two steps forward and then one back. We can't put the paint on until we get the zincs (they help prevent the steel being eaten basically). The zincs should have arrived Friday, but they are coming tomorrow, tomorrow, manana...manana.
We are certainly learning the art of patience, but still, there are people here that only meant to stay a month and have been here for 6! Guatemala is calling us so we want to get the wind in our sails once again.
For those that have been asking, we have had no problems with flooding and landslides in this part of Honduras. Tropical storm Stan affected mainly Guatemala and El Salvador. We will be heading for Livingston (on the Caribbean coast of Guatemala) to enter the Rio Dulce (meaning "sweet river").
Gotta go, we have to pump out the 50 gallons of fresh drinking water Pete so carefully syphoned into the tank because we have a leak. Better to have found it now than halfway across the Pacific though...more soon.
