10-17-10, Catskill, NY (on the Hudson River)

We started the day with a very light fog and no wind.  A perfect day to put the mast up.  We were second in line to get our mast put up at Hop-O-Nose Marina.  The mast went up without any problems and we spent the rest of the day working on installing the boom, radar, bimini, boom vang, sails, mast instrument connections, sheets and tensioning the rigging properly.  We got it all done by about 3:00PM.  Most of our sailing partners from Oswego were there also.  There are no more low bridges South of here so tomorrow a sailing we will go, wind permitting.
