'05 Takedown

Halloween Day +1 : We left our decorations up through the night and came home tonight to a mini disaster involving the pirate ship! As shown in the pictures, somehow the mast bent cleanly in half. Best guess as to what happened is that a gust of wind shook the poor top heavy mast to and fro until it finally gave up. I'm not mad or disappointed as this will give me an opportunity to improve my design for next year, I might move to a higher schedule PVC or reinforce the mast with wood or metal.
