Today was the day. Both masts came down and are mounted solidly on the boat. Tomorrow we have some fine tuning and cleaning up to do, but the big job is done. Weather was perfect, maybe a little too hot.

We are staying put until sometime Friday. Roger and Tari are having a battery monitor installed. After that, we leave for Tonowanda. Pat should be here for that trip and will be on board for several days before flying back home. For now, I have joined Paradise Hunter on the wall, since with the mast hanging out the front and back of the boat, I no longer fit in my slip! I am now a 50 foot boat! I remember a boat that size as having more room down below ...

Tomorrow we go hunting for a generator for Roger and Tari to keep their battery charged. They also could use an additional battery. They have a large power draw they need to keep up with. Later in the trip they also plan to add solar power.
