Weekends on the boat

It has been two months now since we bought the boat. I could define them in a word: Rush. The work weeks have been full and the weekends spent traveling and running around. Lara thinks I am obsessed with the boat... she might be right, or I might be really excited. In addition to the day we spent on the survey, we have spent two weekends on the boat. No the boat is not in the water yet, and it does have a nice little heater on it, so we have been toasty warm.
The weekends have been spent getting to know the boat a little. Of course the first weekend we were too excited to know what to do, so we opened cabinets and poked out heads into different places. We had a nice lunch with the previous owners and cleared a bunch of stuff out of their basement.
The second weekend we dug into things a little more. Lara mapped the through hulls from the outside and then located them on the inside. I started to look at some of the electrical that needs upgrading.
We tested out the salon and found that it is a nice place to have a glass of wine and chat. We have also found the aft cabin to be very comfortable.
We are hoping the boat will go in the water on May 2nd... Our first planned voyage is to sail east to Marion Massachusetts on May 9th where we will attend a Celestial Navigation Course. We will be bringing the boat to VT the week of June 14th
