Today we pulled the shade canvas off and we're broiling under the sun. One
spreader is off and the second one will be removed shortly. We have the
Sitka spruce in our hands thanks to Matt at Woodies Woodshop in Wilmington
and we can start remaking the spreaders. The ends where the standing
rigging attaches have a crack in the stainless on one side and are peened on
with bronze rivets.
