De-stepping the mast in Oswego

A good night sleep secure at dock…slept right through the rain and the winds and didn’t get out of bed until 10:00. I had my bowl of nuts and coconut milk, and started on the remaining tasks for de-stepping the mast. Julie helped with assembling of the horses as we watched a sailboat arrive from the canal with its mast horizontal in horses on their deck…it gave me more confidence in the horses I made for our mast. Julie collected $1.50 and used the laundry facilities before heading back to Walmart again to return the Tracfone sold to her that couldn't call or txt Canada after all…even after spending a long while on the phone with Tracfone who couldn't resolve the problem.

I checked the weather (see below) as we were scheduled to de-step at 08:00 tomorrow morning. The good news is that the winds are rain will have passed by the morning...
