First time ontop of the mast of our sailboat. Checking the rigging and gear before we make our way across the Aegean Sea in Greece In some unpredictable weather through winter. We also thread the lazy Jack lines through the stanchion holes so they stop slapping on the mast during the night when it’s windy keeping us awake!
