Mastus Erectus

Proper footwear to keep the boat (relatively) clean and ourselves safe…
 
 
 
 
Ready with the mast raising system…
 
 
 
 
Waiting for me…
 
 
 
 
Still waiting…
 
 
 
 
Here I come…
 
 
 
Success on the first try…
 
 
 
Looks really good….
but…
 
 
 
Way up at the top of the mast
we noticed some tape we had forgotton to remove…UGG!!!
Raised and lowered AGAIN…easier the second time though.
 
All good practice…
 
 
 
Adverse weather heading our way.
 
14 knot winds and increasing…
 
maybe better to play it safe and install the boom and sails tomorrow…
 
 
 
 
A few finishing touches…
 
 
 
 
Before leaving we enjoyed our first picnic aboard…
