Mizzen stays

I made cinnamon bread on watch, it filled the whole tween deck, Robin said he was having dreams of bread because of it. For work party we unlayed the service on the mizzen backstays, in the afternoon the continued the same thing. We fully unlayed one stay, but in the afternoon they only took one of the four lines off because they had to think about how they were going to relay it. They then cut black polypro into lengths and unlayed it by throwing it over the stern and letting it untangle itself and get the twists out as they pulled it apart. In the long run there were still a lot of twists in the line that had to be taken out.
