Lek, the Burmese grinder, goes up the mast to remove the triatic

Our second week is up in PSS Boatyard, Thailand, and we've made good progress. Both masts have been removed, the carpenters continue to remove the deck fittings, the plumber was in today removing and cleaning the holding tank (a job neither Liz nor I wanted to undertake), and we've started to remove the mast fittings (lots of drilling involved, annoyingly). We've also had meetings with the electrician and the mechanic, and started to think about interior finish. We've posted a Week 2 Update, including a video summary of the week's progress AND a video clip of the mast removal.

For ipad users, we're working on those glitches. If anyone with an ipad can help me test, please PM me. Thank you.
