Mast madness


In two days Sirena IV will be lifted out of the water - nothing new there.  What is new for us is that her gold coloured, heavy, 45 feet high mast will be lifted out of her before she comes out of the water. 

Attached to the mast are all kinds of wires for all kinds of stuff, none of them labelled as we discovered today when we looked underneath for the first time.  See pic. Aargh.

We have labelled each of six main cables and their constituent wires and photographed and diagrammed them. 
We don't know which does what. 

It's a bit of a nightmare. Let's hope we can get it all back in place next May when we return and have the mast back up!
