The Mast is Back!!

Today we motored over to Driscoll's Boatyard and met Fritz from Pacific Offshore Rigging. He took care of our mast after the last shop banged it up pretty bad. After the nightmare that Koehler put us through, working with Fritz was like a dream. 

           I feel like Pinocchio. "Look Geppetto, I'm a real boy!" Only it's a real boat now. :) The wonderful folks at Pacific Offshore Rigging are coming back on Monday to finish stuff up and we could possibly be sailing this beautiful boat by next weekend.

The 19 month long mast saga has finally come to end. If you're ever looking at getting work done on your mast, or your wooden boat, feel free to contact us for details on our pretty awful experience with Koehler and our incredibly wonderful experience with Fritz from Pacific Offshore Rigging. We'd be happy to talk to you in detail about both.
