As you can see behind me the windows of the hut are covered with about 3 inches of icy and snow. The wires I went to tighten are the ones leading up to the roof. Unfortunately one of the turnbuckles was so rusted I would have sheared it so I will have to go back with a new one and a hacksaw. The other one is now nice and tight so it can wait till I get back there next week. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.racingyachtmanagement.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/DSCN7473.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.racingyachtmanagement.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/DSCN7473.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"DSCN7473\" width=\"448\" height=\"336\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3394 colorbox-3390\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe snow caught in the short grass looked like cotton blowing around a field. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.racingyachtmanagement.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/DSCN7488.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.racingyachtmanagement.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/DSCN7488.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"DSCN7488\" width=\"336\" height=\"448\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3395 colorbox-3390\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nOn the way along the track I noticed a large piece of wood probably from the jetty at Grytviken and decided to carry it back to base to use for a project I am getting ready to do in the chippy shop. It was quite heavy being 12 foot long and 6 x 3 and a little wet. Thanks to Tommy&#8217;s help holding onto the other end it is already milled and drying in the boatshed. There was a great handmade nail sticking out of it which I have saved and will try to use in some way. I won&#8217;t start the project until after mid winter when everyone is finished with their MWPs and the chippy shop is a little less busy. <\/p>\n<p>Hopefully tomorrow will be another relatively nice day &#8211; it has started to snow is small flurries so there will probably be a blanket tomorrow. I am off on holidays with Tommy and Rob next week from Thursday through Sunday on the Greene and am looking forward to it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I hiked over to Maiviken Hut as I wanted to tighten the cables that hold down the hut.
