09/21/2013 Update

Okay, so I really haven't felt like writing anything, but I promised I would update, so here it is.
I've gotten a few smaller projects around the boat done. My water tank is partially re-installed, I have new opening ports in the head/v-berth area, I've started stocking up on spares, and my bookshelf is 1/3 finished. I've been out sailing a couple times, but have spend more time at the dock than anywhere. I've got a digital ammeter/voltmeter setup to install, I need a new battery as one of mine boiled off a cell. A new 22lb Rocna anchor is on it's way and supposedly Simrad is sending me a bracket to mount my tillerpilot, I've yet to see it.
Lock 13 on the Erie Canal is closed due to a sever leak in the movable dam, so it will be 2-3 weeks before they have it fixed. I'm aiming to leave at about the 3 week mark. It's getting cold and I don't want to get stuck here.
