I'm putting sealer =n it and on it. It is normally above the water line. There is some internal damage on the port where =he bulkheads meet the hull. This is damage that can be repaired later =nd will not hinder out use of the ship. I will send photos when the =ystem allows it. The hydraulic pumps are in Puerto Rico in =he Fed Ex facility. I'm hoping they fly here today. Motors run. No leaks. I experienced a vibration in the port side on the sea =rial that needs to be addressed at some future opportunity but it'= manageable but will slow us down a bit. The information I got from Carlos about damage to =he barge and lack of any operational function of it, cannot be found. I =ave nothing positive to say about this. Karl and I have pumped out and inspected =ach compartment. I have confidence that we are good to go as soon as we =eceive and install the hydraulic pump. EFTA_R1_01762048 EFTA02583682
