. . . . . , but Mark, think how cool it would be to be up in a crows nest wearing your thong, and cruising around San Francisco Bay.
Geeze, Don. Isn't it enough that Mark still climbs his mast and tans while standing on the radar?

Talking of going up the mast. A friend was navigator on an 80ft maxi in the recent Sydney-Hobart race. In 45-50 knots and rough seas, a crew member had to go up the mast to disconnect the mainsail and attach the storm tri-sail. That`s heroic.
(Owner deserves a blast, vital to have a working system, it is compulsory to have, and show you have, an orange colored storm jib and tri-sail onboard).
