The "New to Me" Mast Goes Up

Well I placed a call to Steve at Skeeter Haven to get some help with the "new to me" mast.  I needed some new side stays since the old mast's stays seemed way to long when I tried to step it while on the ice last year.  Well thanks to Steve, and to keep a long story short, I will be using a smaller hound and standard length stays. Anyway here is a picture of Cryostat with the mast up using one of Steve's shorter hounds.

Now to get back to the office and get one of the guys in the shop to make my 11" hound into 2 shorter ones.
