Up the mast

temerity-from-top-of-mast

Today we excercised Annika’ Christmas gift, an ATN TopClimber bosun’s chair, to climb to the top of our mast for the first time.  It worked out great, with Annika and I making it to the top, and Char up to the first spreader.  I didn’t do much besides finding out again how out of shape I am, and fiddling with the windex a bit.

Gnarly stuff at the masthead.   We are replacing the light, the windex fitting, and the wind instruments.

    Wonderful photos! I love climbing. It’s good to see the next generation so unafraid.
