We had discovered a problem with the wind instrument, which meant someone was going to have to go up the mast. Naturally, that meant me! I don’t mind heights and with an appropriate boson’s chair, electric winches and seasoned sailors, this wasn’t as daunting as it looks. I did end up having to go up twice as the main halyard looked warn when I got up there the first time… which was a little alarming as that was what was holding me up there.
The second time we used the topping lift and the spinnaker halyard as a backup. I managed to cut and retie the main halyard and replaced the wind speed and direction doodad while I was up there.
