Here we are again! Up early this morning as the Lobster fleet was hard at work at 0400!!!! we don't need an alarm as the wake wakes you up just before your tossed out of bed onto the floor!!. so then you lay in bed waiting for the next shift and eventually roll out at about 0700 to start the day. Today was momentous as we stepped the Mast. boom truck arrived at 0850 right in the middle of breakfast and Tea. (it's always like this isn't it?) Installed the Mast didn't notice it had not stepped properly until after the truck had left so spent the better part of the day trying to fix the problem and finally resorted to the club crane and brute strength to get it stepped properly at about 1900 hours. A very long day with many interupptions. Now everything is ok and all the Mast lights work. Bonus. Tomorrow we will get the rig tuned and the sails on and hope to race Wed night and leave on Sat. One never knows though!! More later need another rum!!
