Silk Sheets - Up the mast without a clue

Up the mast without a clue

What do you do when you do not know how something works? What do you do when
you don't know what's behind a door? Why do people climb mountains? Well I
guess just cause they are there. And I guess that is why I decided to spend
more money at the Chandlery and buy my self a lovely Bowsens chair just so I
could be hoisted to the top of my mast. I am sure you can imagine it was not
all it is to be made out to be however the view was lovely and my nav tri
colour looks good up close.
I hope I do not need to go back up in a hurry especially while I am at sea.
