Well, I didn't realise it was so easy to upload videos to YouTube, but now that Google owns the world, life is simpler. So, here it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpz1hAODZAY&feature=youtu.be Hope I don't get sued by Moby.
Like I said, mostly in the dark! The crane was busy that nite. Up until a couple years ago I used a webbing strap and slipped itself through a hole in one end of the webbing so it choked it under tension, but it can be tough to adjust and move around, so lately I have just been putting the lifting shackle through both ends and leaving it loose, then in the spring it drops down easily. Lots of other people tie a loose bowline around the mast, move that to where they think they want it and cleat the other end off so it can't slide up. That seems to work as well.

Since I am in San Diego, we don't pull the boat for the winter, and I have no experience with un-stepping the mast.
