Ed,
Almost. I am at the lake today (saturday) and will be going over to Big 
Water tomorrow.  The rigging is in and the mast has to be raised.  Also, 
will be looking at the best way to install the autopilot tomorrow because 
the stern seats get in the way.  Yes, you read that correctly - the 
autopilot is for singlehanding, but mostly for cruising in FL...   Thinking 
about the Keys early next spring.  Probably another week or so and the 
Clipper should be ready.  I think I am about done because I'm running out of 
things to add (I hope), although a refrigerator might be nice...

See 'ya this fall.  I look forward to the fall for some of the best sailing 
on Hartwell.
Bob K
