Finally after replacing the head and head hoses, cleaning the water tank and installing new hoses, new kick ass stereo, repairing the deteriorated wiring for the mast and bow light, replacing the stove, adding a third halyard, replacing the interior lights, installing an oil lamp, re-bedding the forward hatch, replacing a couple of seacocks, re-bedding a thru-hull and a few other odds and ends I managed to get out onto the river. It was a long time coming but it all seems worth it now.
Took the new dog which was the best.
