Perhaps we'll put two coins in the mast step for extra luck

Moments ago, the Mistral skipper dispatched the following to the merry band of Mistral volunteers:

Mistralites,
It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for, well, actually we’ve all been waiting for the moment we turn off the engine and watch Mistral sail.
But anyway, the other moment is the stepping of the Mistral mast and it’s slated to go down tomorrow, Friday, at 3 p.m. Anyone wishing to take part in the festivities is welcome. We will shove off from the Center dock around 2:30.
If all goes well, Sunday will involve the application of some hardware, affixing of a boom, the tuning of some rigging and, dare we wish, a sail.
