Down with the topmast

The crane arrived this morning to help take the masts out. Most of us worked on taking the service off of everything, crojack gear and things from the spanker. The ironwork on the topmast had to be cut as well as part of the top to get it out. They were working on getting the crosstrees apart and poor Richard wasn’t tall enough so he had to come down and Chris went up. We got stood down at the usual time because there was nothing left that we could do, the topmast came down in one piece.
