Getting the mast back up went fairly smoothly. Sure glad they knew what they were doing there 'cause we didn't! In order for us to capture this and learn for the future Christopher took some pictures of the event. Actually more than a few. He found out that the card is full after 386! Here's one of those.
After it is up it still looks kind of limp, which is never good, so it takes a bit of work to tune the rig and get everything else back in order. We spent the rest of the afternoon and much of Oct 1 turning our canal cruiser back into a sailboat. Of course being the first time we've done any of this there was much staring and pondering and chin rubbing, often followed by a stroll over to someone elses boat with yet another question.
But then it was time to play. The town of Catskill has a wonderfull waterfront park and playground just down the road from the marina. We played there for a while and then splurged on a dinner out at the mini restaurant - burger place in the park. Christopher enjoyed seeing a few other kids there. Back at the boat the dinghy was inflated and we are ready to head off!
