I became restless eventually and took Annika with me out, where we put on our rain clothes.<br><br>Time for the mast to get some love and a check up.<br>We started by lifting it to the trestles I had brought. <br>I started by loosening everything. Because the mast has lain in a mast stand outside for at least two years, it was green both here and there, mostly in the running rig. The more I loosened and looked the more I realised that it was only a little dirt and a matt finish on the mast which a wash with some soft soap would fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"498\" src=\"http:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/received_465201664382596-1024x498.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"155\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/received_465201664382596.jpeg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/riversong.hasselblads.se\/received_465201664382596\/\" class=\"wp-image-155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/received_465201664382596-1024x498.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/received_465201664382596-300x146.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/received_465201664382596-768x373.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/received_465201664382596-1536x747.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/received_465201664382596.jpeg 2016w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Home made trestles which are stackable and fits perfectly in the boot of the car.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"498\" src=\"http:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/received_810737852730689-1024x498.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"157\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/received_810737852730689.jpeg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/riversong.hasselblads.se\/received_810737852730689\/\" class=\"wp-image-157\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/received_810737852730689-1024x498.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/received_810737852730689-300x146.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/received_810737852730689-768x373.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/received_810737852730689-1536x747.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/received_810737852730689.jpeg 2016w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">It is actually pleasant and meditatively calming work.

I examined all the halyards and the only thing I noticed was a little sliver on the wire part of the main halyard. This is nothing that needs changing this year but it felt good to get to know the rig. Annika received a quick lesson to get an idea about what all the lines were . She has never had nor sailed a sail boat but wants to learn everything, preferably all at once.<br>We went through halyard by halyard and I explained what they were and what they were used for. A really cozy lesson despite the pouring rain and the chill in the air. The mast was scrubbed with soapy water (a lot of soft soap) and I used a soft Scotch brite and a rim brush to reach around fittings and other things that are attached to the mast. This creates edges where green algaes have a party. Later all is rinsed with just water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"498\" src=\"http:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/received_810737852730689-1024x498.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"157\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/received_810737852730689.jpeg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/riversong.hasselblads.se\/received_810737852730689\/\" class=\"wp-image-157\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/received_810737852730689-1024x498.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/received_810737852730689-300x146.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/received_810737852730689-768x373.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/received_810737852730689-1536x747.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/received_810737852730689.jpeg 2016w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Skipper at top speed with a sponge and soft soap.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/20200111_144239-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"153\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/20200111_144239-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/riversong.hasselblads.se\/20200111_144239\/\" class=\"wp-image-153\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/20200111_144239-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/20200111_144239-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/20200111_144239-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/20200111_144239-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/20200111_144239-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It started to get wet and cold for real and I understand why Annika's mood started to dip. It was after all time to go home and get some food into our bodies. For those of you who don't know us, I can tell you that both me and Annika get proper blood sugar dips and thus  really bad mood unless we get food when we need it. Hahaha!<br>So we tied all the halyards and everything else that ran along the mast to the mast to prevent them from moving as much as possible. We rinsed off the mast one final time so that it looked nice. It was too wet and cold now to grease the mast with parrafin oil and remove old Tesa tape with acetone. There will be more days and it is still winter after all.<br>But wow, do I look forward to all of this. After all the trouble I had with the motor boat which actually threatened to break me totally, this feels so much better.<br>We ended the day by lifting the mast back into the stand again and go up to Dad and warm up a little before we drove home.<br>Writing today: Skipper Hasselblad<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/20200111_144226-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"152\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/20200111_144226-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/riversong.hasselblads.se\/20200111_144226\/\" class=\"wp-image-152\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/20200111_144226-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/20200111_144226-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/20200111_144226-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/20200111_144226-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/20200111_144226-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">I will probably name the mast Doc.<br>So while masting: The Doc is docking River Song, standing straight up. <br>(Whovian joke)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/20200111_144242-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"154\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/20200111_144242-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/riversong.hasselblads.se\/20200111_144242\/\" class=\"wp-image-154\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/20200111_144242-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/20200111_144242-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/20200111_144242-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/20200111_144242-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media1.hasselblads.se\/2020\/01\/20200111_144242-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sj\u00e4lvklart skall det vara skitv\u00e4der n\u00e4r man best\u00e4mt att dra till b\u00e5ten.Farsan bor ju granne med RS s\u00e5 det var ju bara att b\u00f6rja dagen med kaffe och snacka lite skit medans regnet h\u00f6ll p\u00e5.
