So the first day of the season kicked off on January 13th and Matt Mason was lucky enough to get out on the ice with the B Skeeter fleet and get some great shots. You can check out his website here. I cannot finished rehabbing my "New-to-me-Mast" quickly enough.

Let the sanding begin
The first of the year was a perfectly cold day to be prepping and sanding the mast. Surprisingly the coldest part of the work was running my hand down the mast after the sander.
The sanding and prepping has revealed that there may be some glass work in the future for the mast. It appears that the fiberglass that was wrapped around the tip of the mast has delaminated after about 20 years in the rafters of the previous owners building.
Also I need to get new hog stays made for the mast as my current ones don’t match up to the mounting position on this mast. And hopefully I will be able to find a workable solution for the mast step and not need to have something casted.
