Well, the snow is melting in Albany and the air is getting warm. Now is the time when I start getting antsy. I was home for my birthday and cut plexiglass covers for some of the holes in the deck. I got the covers on where the old engine vents were. I have to install the remaining covers for the old fuel fill and the engine gauges. Sunday I bought 100' of Nylon line from Home Depot and spliced up four 25' docklines for nearly $30 less than buying them pre-made.
West Marine has been having a spring tune up sale, and lucky for me there is a store withing a few miles of SUNY Albany. So today I went in to check it out. I picked up a VHF radio on sale And clearanced for a very good price. I also bought some fenders, flares, and a signaling whistle. Cassandra will now be Coastguard compliant. I also picked up a compass, something Cassandra was conspicuously previously lacking.
And as a final act I've ordered new lower side stays from D&R Marine that I should be able to install when I'm back in Baldwinsville for Easter break.
Progress is being made, and more will come. There is a lot of buying yet to be done, and plenty of fixing and fabricating too. More soon.
