Day 2

 

7 July 2020

 

We’ve settled into our dock, the riding crew departed and its just the working crew.

The scaffolding subcontractor delivered the scaffold to the pier, and began erecting the scaffold around the foremast. By the next day, the scaffold was complete up to the yardarm. The yard crew unbolted the yardarm, and Harry, the crane operator, gently lifted it onshore. That afternoon, the scaffold team completed the scaffold all the way to the air search antenna.

We are not going into drydock until sometime next week. Stay tuned.

Photos from spectators keep pouring in, the support from the public is everything.
