It was never certain, but we got enough time with no rain, notice I didn't say sun, to get the second coat of bottom paint applied. Then yesterday, with New Morning in the slings they applied a second coat in the spots where the jack stands had been and it started raining again. It rained pretty steady for about an hour, but it eventually took a break, the wind continued to blow and New Morning was back in the water and into a slip by 2pm. An hour and a half later I was on my way to Panama City.
On a separate subject, Chuck Paine has said some very nice things about New Morning in a paper posted on his web site. I've posted it on the Design page, look towards the bottom of the page.
