Mast went up today...yesterday they shoveled snow from the cockpit...I thought we left this nonsense!

| The crane arrived by 10:00am |

| Used a BBQ spatula to scrape the ice out :) |

Guiding her in the hole! The wind was about
pulling them off their feet- a little scary |
 |
| The view from below, here she comes! |
 |
Somewhere in the process, a paddle was lost
off the windex. I am SO glad I was not the sorry
sucker that had to go up in the bosun's chair!
The wind was really cranking up there... |

Wet mittens? Necessity is the motherhood of
invention...a bungee cord and two chip clips
and they dried quite nicely. At least the furnace works! |
While Donnie and the rigger worked out in the blistering cold, I was toasty warm down below. It literally took me three hours to wrestle the memory foam matress and make up the Vberth. A blister from the scissors, and the first injury requiring my trusty medical kit (also from the scissors), I was finally able to make the bed. Its not SAMI standards, but it will do- and it is so comfortable. We took the first trip of the week to West Marine, and the plan tomorrow is to get her in the water :)
Your my heros! It looks mighty cold but I know from experience that boats can be warm and toasty.
