Last weekend we had sunny weather, so we decided to mount the stern pulpit. The project actually went fairly hitch free. Drilled holes were straight and in alignment and only one thing got dropped in the water, and that item was expendable anyways. The first is a photo of the stern before the pulpit. Except for the main sheet running through the pulleys back there, it's a bit of a open space where you can get rather intimate with Poseidon and his realm. Exhilarating but sometimes a little precarious.
The next two photos are with the stern pulpit. It's a little hard to see it well, but the pulpit encloses the space and creates a bit of security. A set of life lines will be added halfway down from the upper rail to close it up more.
It turned out to be our stainless steel stern pulpit which Matt ordered from Bud Taplin a few weeks ago. I was either not told of the order, or was and just wasn't listening (which is always a possiblity) but either way it made the arrival of the package a surprise, and surprises are often fun.
