Quite a project for sure but it looks like you’ve got the right team working on it. Just think when you get back everything will be hopefully ship shape. I want to wish you and your family the very best and blessed Christmas ever and a better New Year. God bless everyone.

Merry Christmas Lauren, Hope you have a wonderful time with family,,,,,Stay safe and look forward to your future trips !

[@igabrielf]

Absolutely loved how you decorated the boat for Christmas! The new mast is looking great, and how crazy it is that they cut it pieces to ship it! 😅 Merry Christmas, Lauren and God bless you and your family 🎄💙

[@davidjackson2115]

It looks like they made it separate not cut it. I would want them to heat the rivets just before putting in so they contract when cool just to help give that extra tightness. And after chopping my mast up and seeing how the wire {crap Chinese wire wasnt around then} was corroded all the way through Id be inclined to consider solid core copper wire out of a old mircowave transformer {2-3 wires per each connection sheilded in something to protect} maybe even have 2-3 sets of LEDs up there as well. But like the man said "theres always problems"

[@rski1036]

@@davidjackson2115 Solid Core wire on a boat is a NO NO and not approved by the Coast Guard as vibrations will cause it to break.

[@timpanda3780]

What an amazing, well oiled process to remove your mast! A great group of folk doing the work for you too. Merry Christmas wishes Lauren and here’s to a wonderful, Happy New Year with new exciting adventures to look forward to. 🎅🧑‍🎄🦌🦌🦌🦌🎶🎶🎶🥂🍾

I'm glad we both got to see as much as we did. Really sorry to hear there is such a theft problem in St Martin. Safe travels. I hope they have just enough snow at home, to be pretty, but not a problem. I'll bet Santa is good to you, you've been a very good girl. ❤🙏

You've got to DIVE on that mooring ball to see what's going on Queen! They also make cool underwater drones, but being down there in person is best for analysis and untangling. That's a beautiful mast. I love Nico. Quite the personality. Like you. Bless you and merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I was wondering about your base matching. You'd think that they would have been in contact with the manufacturer and ensured it would go smoothly. But if you own a boat smoothly, it is a rare occurrence. It will be ready when you return. And then you can show it off!

Watching this makes me thankful I have a San Juan 23’ and I can drop my mast by myself in just a few minutes. Yeah she is small but we have been on some adventures I can’t even count how many time we have made the run north to escape huracanes but that just comes with living in Florida 😅

Your discussion of boardings was really helpful. Do you know how widespread this is throughout the other Caribbean islands? I guess whenever there is local poverty there will be this kind of theft.

Hi Lauren I was surprised to see this version of Oceanis has a mast to the keel. My OC48 has a stanchion between the keel and the deck. The mast is just sitting on the deck.

[@laurenlanders]

One of the reasons I went with an older boat🙏🏼

[@richarda8325]

Is your new mast identical to the old? Does it have any extra features? Great video.

That is some operation but these guys obviously know what they are doing. That's why I like old school woodwork, you can easily take the mast down yourself. Do you replace the stays too? Soon your boat is brand new! 😅 Have a merry Christmas and happy New year Lauren.

Me encanto tu sonrisa, los adornos navideños, el mastil hermoso que va ir en tu embarcacion, y creo que hasta el ultimo dolar que inviertas en tu embarcacion esta bien invertido porque va a mejorar tu seguridad. Por supuesto como dijiste algo tenia que salir fuera de planes pero menos mal que estabas alli para realizarlo, porque como se ve parecen una gran familia en el puerto maritimo. Gracias por la actualizacion y no tengas duda que en Navidad te voy a mandar mis mejores deseos para la fiesta. Cuidense mucho Lauren y Mako y acordate siempre de mandar mensajes por la red para saber que estan bien 😘😘😘💗💙💙
