Cover is On, Take 2...

We spent this morning putting the cover back over the boat so we can get this job DONE!!!  I have to say that it went much quicker and went on easier than the first time. We had a lot more help this time too!  Thank you to everyone who came out to help us; we couldn't have done it without you!!!

After our second trip down to the boat this morning, we decided it was going to be now or never.  Dave and Ty started calling anyone who they thought might show up and give us a hand.

We decided to cut the mast off just under the structure so it wouldn't be poking through this time.  Looks like we have yet another project to do once this whole thing is finished.  Dave would like to re attach the mast on a hinge in order to be able to lay it down in case we want to cover the boat in the winter time. 
Rounding up the troops
 It was threatening rain from the moment we got there, so Tara and I put on all of our raingear just in case.  Wouldn't you know it, the minute we unrolled the plastic the rain started.
Are we done yet??
 This time we bought the bigger roll of plastic; it covered the whole thing.

More or less done
