Oriental, NC to Duck Creek to Oriental, NC

We arrived just on schedule at Duck Creek Marina.  A lovely little place back on a beautiful channel.

Tyler from Maverick Marine met us at the dock and got busy right away.

They started removing the hardware.

David, the yard owner arrived minutes later with the crane.

Using a lift and the crane, they prepped the mast to be removed.

And just like that - off it came.  Amazingly simple process. 

Perfectly balanced, they just swing the mast over to the dock.


And set it on saw horses.  We'll be back to do some more grinding and painting in the days to come while we wait for Tyler to assemble the new rigging.


Then it was back to the 5 hour motor back to Fork Point!  A beautiful calm day.  Weird to be a "motor boat"!!

Back at the dock, Ed came over for a visit....he's been working hard over at Bridgeton getting their boat ready so that they can leave it while they have some other ventures!
