Tedious jobs covered in anti seize

Today was filled with lots of stupid little jobs, lashed some rat boards to the mizzen topmast shrouds, it’s so tiny up there I don’t know how anyone would ever really climb them. Found some gear for the foretopgallant, mizzen topsail and spanker. Then I was sent to find bolts so the yoke could be attached to the mizzen topsail yard. Couldn’t really find any, then had to cut some bolts, find nuts, anti seized everything, then Grant and I tried to fit the holes in the yoke with the holes in the yard, nope, wasn’t going to happen. At the end of the day it was decided that we’d have to drill some new holes, it was just too ridiculous to try and fit it.
