There is always something to fix on boats and sometimes what needs fixing is not in a convenient place. Dulcinea's mainsail is furled into the mast and it refuses to come out. One theory was it just needed lubricating so I was volunteered, being the lightest, to go up the mast and apply said lubricant. So there I was, shaking like a leaf, but game to give it a try when Gary stepped in and said he would go up, but he was mightily impressed that I was willing to do it. So this is Gary up the mast of Gerry's boat (last week). As it turned out someone else would have needed to go up anyway - there was a major problem up there which Gary couldn't fix at the time. It now requires power tools so the next calm day someone needs to go up. I can't use power tools - that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
