10/16/10: Mast Step and Side Railings

[ida may]

Gordon, Elbert, and David Gladden and Tom Evans work on a windy fall day
on the Skipjack Ida May in Chance MD. Tom sands and paints the old
railings. They are still in good shape and will be put back once we
patch up the starboard side. Gordon and Elbert find that the top layer
of the mast step is rotten, but not too difficult to take out and it
won't be hard to replace either. We sure did miss Frank Antes, who had
prior commitments elsewhere. Notice the camera shot straight down the
centerboard's well.
