De-masting for the Erie Canal
Our de-masting was done at Wardell's Marina in North Tonawanda. Barry was pleased to pay the $5.00 per foot (of mast) - docking included, to have Dennis Wardell's expertise and assistance.
We shared Wardell's that day with our new friends Frederica and Alberto Colella who are on board their Whitby 42, "Nausicaa", as well as Mike Blama who is travelling along with them as far as the Annapolis boat show.
We also made our fender boards at this location.
Dennis Wardell has suggested we put the mast back up at Hop-o-Nose Marina, which is located in Catskill, N.Y., 40 miles in to the Hudson river. A phone call today gave us the wonderful news that the insulator had been located and installed on our rod-rigging back-stay. We requested it be shipped to Hop-o-Nose Marina and hopefully we should catch up with it when we're ready to put the mast back up.
