The company will refqwbisb-the boat before it is sold, briging4t back to its original colors, bluè andI white. According to Yearwood, flHaÏti will want the boat to look gôodsince it may sit in a view of the public when used. This refurbishing is ex- pected to cost over $100,000 and take more than a month. The boat also has rooms running along the sides, capable of accom- modating employees and officers. Because the P.E.I.'s engines and propeller have been removed tug boats will pull the P.E.I. to its destination. Wherever the P.E.I. ends up the company will send technical assistance to train local personnel to operate the plant efficiently. The company expeets to have no trouble with the government of Canada over the sale. According to Yearwood, all that has to be ap- proved is an export license. es i
