Attempted a fun little project today…
Which involved leaving deck level…
This was the first time we’d been up our mast at all; we borrowed a bosun’s chair from a fellow yachtie, and used a 4:1 block & tackle to get to the top. The problem, of course, is always the last 3′ of height that you need to get to the top. A couple of webbing loops gave me “steps” to stand in… but we’re keeping “mast setup” on the list of things to ponder about further.
With a bit of a struggle & a little knee-knocking, I managed to get the cover off the light, get the old bulb out, install the new LED bulb (which should not interfere with anything), and get the cover back on…. only to discover that the bulb was not the actual problem:
So this is a project that’ll stay on the list for now… but I’m still happy we got some cool pictures!
Looks like you were squeezing that mast pretty hard with your legs. 🙂
