The one thing I dread about sailing is having to go up the mast. The last step in our preparations to leave Goderich is to put my wind instruments on the top of the main mast. Not a good place for a guy who is terrified of heights to be. It’s at times like this that a trawler looks like a really good option.

Please don’t make me go up there!

Anyway, I survived the ordeal & Chris was good enough to let me back down so we could start our journey.

Don’t look down!
