Stormbreaker - Up the mast

Up the mast

The wind finally dropped enough to allow me to take my first flight up the mast. I wanted to test my vertigo tendencies in the marina rather than at sea. I did get to the top, hung around for a couple of minutes,then down. I was pleased when my feet touched down on the deck !

We have spent the weekend fitting our storage solution on the deck. You may well recognise our 'storage box' as something more at home at 70 mph on the motorway. It made sense to us, watertight, light, lockable and 470 litres of glorious storage space. We may have started a new craze in the cruising yacht world............
