Define delay-2014 version

We arrived in Brewerton, NY yesterday to the message below.

We are reviewing our options. Last fall when we were stuck at Waterford NY on the Erie, the tentative 5-6 days to reopen turned into 18 days or so.  This might work out well in end. If we can get the boat in the water we can move aboard and start with seasonal maintenance in place rather than on the way.
