Taking down the mast

Today was a big day in getting ready for the trip. The guys at Johnsons and Tom got the mast down and stored on the mast crutches. After the mast was completley tied and strapped we put the dingy on the deck. Kevin was going to tune and check the ham radio antenna. Next door Frank and Denise are racing against time to fix thier reefer, water heater, and a bad piece of plywood down in the steering area. Saturday will be the final shop for food and loading clothes.
