We had a great opportunity to go for a sail with Norm and Gillian on their
Benetau 38.

Going out the entrance to the Cap Sante Marina |
Here's Gnettie enjoying the ride. Looking at me like "Let's get our boat
done!!" |
|
|
A island destination. |
While out sailing we lost the roller furling sail and the Captain needed
a volunteer from the crew to take a ride up the mast. The first one to
step forward was Gnettie anxious to go up the mast. |

Here's her "This is another fine mess you've gotten me into Ollie!" look. |
On her way up with Norm and I on the lines. Norm was on the main line
and I was on the safety line |

Up past the first spreader, |
Going to the top! |

50 Feet up and releasing the line and gears that were detached from the roller furling. |

Sorry no other pictures as I was still on the safety line and couldn't snap any pictures. "Can I go up again Captain??" |
