The Damaged Gin Pole

I don't want to dwell on the set back, but this is a shot of the bent-up gin pole. As you may know, a gin pole is a type of mast raising device that uses leverage. We did a detailed survey of the damage today and it's really not that bad. Should be back to where we were before we put the mast down improperly in a week or two. Learned a few new things about the boat in the process. Replaced the two upper side shrouds this afternoon while we were figuring out what hardware needed replacing. Next possible sailing trip window is Father's Day weekend. If that doesn't happen, next window is 4th of July. Onwards and upwards.
