Mid Winter Update
Just wanted to post something to let everyone know that progress is still being made even if it is slow. A combination of cold weather, and being in Albany for school have greatly delayed any significant progress. Over Christmas break I Re-bedded Cassandra's chain plates, fixed the leaking anchor locker drain, reinforced the v-berth bulkhead, removed and priced lower shrouds, and added another coat of epoxy to her new hatch boards. I'll be installing a deadbolt on the main hatch when I have time. And when the weather begins to warm up I'll begin re-coring the side decks. Big on the list of things to do is installing the lifelines and stanchions which should start when the tarp comes off for the Summer. Today I pulled out my fish finder and tested it. Everything seems to be in working order, and I will be installing that before this summer too. Very little electrical work can be done until I can afford a battery, but once I have that I'll be able to check the Log and all the lights. So for now I'm mostly waiting on money an weather, but I still think I can have Cassandra on the water and ready for cruising this Summer.
