Plugging along




HUGE day Saturday this past weekend as John Perrault came by and spent the ENTIRE day (in sweltering heat) helping me build and rig the mast. We got all the standing rigging sorted and 4 of six shrouds installed. We had it up more than once but as both of us were scurrying around lifting, balancing, sweating, measuring, sweating, lowering, cutting, raising the mast (and sweating) there wasn't much leisure time for photography.

Here's a picture of the mast laying down next to the house:






I also built the trailer:


And CAREFULLY lifted the boat up in the air (scary):








And placed the trailer under the boat:






I got a HUGE amount done this weekend. Thanks again to John, I would be no where near this far if not for him.


Oh yeah, and today was the boys first day of school:
