Well … we found out why our stringers rotted. You want to know? Watch this. Warning, it might make you cry, or weep at least, to know such a small, seemingly insignificant thing can dismast a boat.

It’s sad to see our mast lying lonely on her side at the shipyard. She loves to be standing tall, with lots of folks “hanging around.” But I sleep soundly knowing she’s got sunny, silky dreams to keep her warm.

Watch us run around like chipmunks in time-lapse mode as we pull the mast. Pretty interesting to see her become completely detached and lifted away. Also, enjoy the Video Breakdown by Yours Truly!

Just a few last detachments (just a few, I swear!). This mast pull prep is no effin joke. But all that’s left now are the rods holding her up. Here comes the crane!

You guys watch closely, because we’re counting on you to help us put all of this crap back together. Preparing the boat to pull the mast turned into one heap of a mess, but don’t let it get you down! Getting that stringer fixed will get us one step closer to sailing south!
