Up the mast
36:49.25N 028:18.44E 20 – 29th April 2011 There comes a time when the next task requires a journey upward. It is always a good idea to check the fixtures and fittings at the top of the mast anyway but this year we needed to replace the wind vane that had been damaged. We had been told that you can use the anchor windlass to haul someone up thereby saving your arms on the winches so, with a friends help we gave that a go. Unfortunately we didn’t get very far because the angles on the ropes were all wrong for what we needed and then having sorted that out the motor protested and cut out. Mike got this far....
The view from the top is pretty good. And then it was Ben’s turn.....
