Goodbye spanker

A watch gets a late wake up because the other two watches were docking the boat at Boothbay Harbor. For work party we took down the spanker, gaff, boom and some antennas. In the afternoon we started to take down the topmast, most of us didn’t have real jobs so eventually as things were brought down some of us got to painting mast wedges and ironwork. Also took down the mizzen staysail. The mast wasn’t able to come down all the way because of the way it is shaped at the top, square and bulgy where it should still be a cylinder to get through the ironwork. Guys from the shipyard came and pried off the wooden vainer around the mizzenmast on the tween deck. Cory spend the day in the engine room taking things apart.
