A day off devoted to boat projects

I managed to take a day off today.  I split my time between the companionway steps and projects on the Mag, NCOBS' 25' Drascomb Gig.  The Mag has a wooden mast that split at a seam when one of the shroud chain plates broke.  Trish focused her energies on repairing the Mag's manual bilge pump, I installed new chainplates, and we pooled out efforts on repairs to the mast.

Here is an image of the split after we cleaned it up and prepped it for gluing.

On the surface the repair looks good.  Time will tell if it is sound.
