Stepping the Mast
10 October 2008
At long last Charm returned to her rightful place in the water and regained her mast. Stepping the mast was a bit scary for the observer (me) and even more scary as the mast dangled in the air and passersby, like our good dentist Dr Bob, were pressed into service in grabbing a wayward line. However, all went well and the mast slid into place with no damage to persons, fresh paint job on the mast, or boat. This scene shows the final stages of guiding the mast into place. One of the yard personnel got to be the lucky guy down in the cabin making sure that it went into the proper spot with no pinched wires (or fingers).
