Nah, i'm a grad student and sit in front of a computer all night
working on a thesis and doing grunt work for my advisor and the US
forest service sporadically. Family, just a dog and we run 3 miles a
day he's ready for a cruise :)

sail done, hatch almost, rigging well little simpler on a balanced
lug, trailer....think i'm going to borrow one for a while, outboard
already had it, scavaged all that other stuff over the past year.
Electrics will have to wait till i win the lottery, thats what
lanterns are for.

That's going to be a pain, as i live 500 miles fom my residency. I
only need the numbers if i run the ob so i may get some yuloh
practice in the mean time and keep the ob below deck for "emergency"
use till i get the #s

Go for it Jason,

I hope you don't
get fired
for neglecting your day job,

or divorced
for neglecting your family. <g>

...don't forget the roof hatch, sails, rigging
and maybe a trailer and outboard. And,
perhaps some safety items, like a fire extinquisher,
life vests, a bell, compass, etc..

Does your state require 'vessel numbers'?
I have been waiting two months now to get
my application back, send in your application
early!
Keel first, then rig. It sits up better.
