Mast is up! The crew decided to do the mast stepping on Wednesday rather than Sunday. I was a bit concerned as David and I were the only ones to make it on time. We were able to help Harrier and Kokomo step their masts before Emi and Charles arrived.
It was a bit chilly and the threatened rain did not start until after supper. A good breeze from the east didn't have an impact on the project. I was my usual hesitant self about what to do; but as things progressed I became more confident. For the last 3 years I haven't needed to step the mast. Even with tasks that I have repeated every year, I am amazed at how much I forget. I think this was the first year that I managed to thread the main sheet without having to redo it a few times.
So looking forward to the practise event next Wednesday.
