Projects

Sunday – Up the Mast – and other small projects

We headed off to Luna Sea late this morning to finish off a few projects and visit with friends and boat neighbors.

I covered the ports in the salon with some static cling window vinyl stuff – my version of curtains.  Here’s a pic of Mark working on a template – most of the windows were simple, but two of them were fairly challenging.  Not that we’re perfectionists or anything…

Then I headed on up the mast for some de-rustification.  (That’s a word, right?)  Translation: I strapped on that adorable bosun’s chair, hooked into the main halyard, and Mark had the privilege of winching me on up.  He only complained a little – and was smart enough to choose his words carefully.  

On up to the top to check out the burned out anchor light

Figured I oughta take a couple of shots from above – here’s that .29 mile hike I used to whine about allllll the way to the parking lot.

We need a pirate flag.  I should add it to that ever-growing list…

There’s Mark’s noggin’ poking out from under the boom. 

So that whole mast event was really fun.  I was even able to swing around a little and pretend I was an acrobat.  Maybe I should add an electric winch to the list so I can talk Mark into sending me up there more often.

Mark also hung up the safety net to keep the wiener’s from sliding off the boat – but I forgot to take pics. (It’s always best to keep your wieners contained.)  I’ll just have to post on that another time.  Happy Sunday!
