Roy and I are still in shock and disbelieve of the mast snapping in half. Roy was up on the mast last Wednesday, to even think it could of snapped with him 60 ft up runs chills through me! Not even a safety line would of helped! I'm very thankful! Boat Us insurance company will be here tomorrow. We are in Oriental, NC a very small town, if you have cruised the ICW you know how small it really is.
Pictures taken from Dave & Jessica boat!
We had dinner with Dave and Jessica and they had some interesting boating stories to tell as you can see from the pictures.
Sailing down the Alligator Pungo River.
A black bear coming towards the boat!
Did you ever think he had to come to a complete stop for two deer crossing your bow! You can see one of them swimming so fast to get out of their way.

ReplyDeleteI am the proud owner of a 36 foot Nonsuch and would like to know a little more about your mast snapping in two (in case it ever happens to us)!Did the break occur at the joint or where the radar was attached to the mast? Do you have any pictures of the break? Any information would be creatly appreciated.
