After months of problems, we now have progress.

The stern pulpit from Tayana had to be remade, as the first pulpit was a ridiculous piece of crap. It should never have been made, nor ordered. Nevertheless, the new unit is here and needs some adjustments. But weather permitting should be on in the next week or two.

The mast is the third mast delivered by Selden. The first two masts were damaged in shipping, as the shipper, Carolina Logistics decided to break the seal cut all the lines and pile the mast sections off to the side while they could put more stuff on the truck and make a little extra money on the side. Problem is, Selden paid for the whole truck, and it's fraud. Not to mention $40K of damage for each of the two masts. Selden tried to change shippers, but only changed shipping brokers. Sure enough, the lowest bid was the cheating, fraudulent Carolina Logistics for the second time.

The third mast is finally in the boat, as the yard had to put me on the back burner and finish other projects. Now, we're in full gear moving forward.
