It's still on the trailer because the yards travelift is broken, but it's home! Kind of a surprise too, I called the broker Friday morning just to see if they got the mast down yet, he tells me not only is the mast being taken down this morning, but a truck is on it's way back from Sodus Point empty, and will be picking the boat up this afternoon, saving me $300 in transport costs, so score and SCORE! Of course I had to work until 9 Friday, and had to really resist dropping everything, driving out to Rochester, and watching the process unfold. Something I hoped to do next week, but now it's here, and I didn't have to be stressed out watching it happen. So now an hour and 15 minute drive turns into an 8 minute drive...
Today I made a mast crutch, and tarped it. No pics of the tarp as it was pouring as soon as I was finished, how's that for timing the weather forecast perfectly
Manhandling the mast around isn't too bad, I had kind of a pissed off moment though, I thought they just threw out the pins for the shrouds but I found then in a bag sitting on top of the fuel tank. They couldn't put it in a better spot? If they had fallen off they would go down into never find again land. Bit the boat was locked so that was probably the only spot they felt it was safe.
