We arrived yesterday (10/26) afternoon in Doumen. That involves taking a 1-1/4 hour ferry ride across the nearly 40 mile mouth of the Pearl River to Zhuhai followed by an hour long taxi ride from to Doumen.
Marcia visited Seahorse Marine last year prior to our ordering the boat. She did the trip under the wings of Ruth and Randall, a retired couple from Virginia, who were there to monitor the final stages of their new boat. This year, Marcia retraced those steps flawlessly.
We visited the yard after we settled in at the hotel, then went out to dinner with Bill & Stella Kimley, Seahorse owners, several others of the key Seahorse people we'll be working with and Don McIntyre, another Seahorse customer (Diesel Duck - "Ice").
Today, we did a tour of the different shops at the boatyard (new to Kurt since he wasn't here last year), visited our boat (pictures to follow), toured Don's boat and spent a couple hours working with the Seahorse designers over the current layout for the Duck sedans (Our boat).
After walking back to our hotel (about 15-20 minutes), we got takeout from the local KFC. It was packed, mostly with families.
