Lela, don't look at these pictures!

Martin and Pavel, check out how manly Dan is at the top of the mast.  (This was a week before the halyard broke that to which he was attached.)  

Bet it makes you want to climb Kilimanjaro!

Barb and Ken say Dan is on a power trip.  Dan says that 3 more solar panels and another wind generator ought to do it.

Dan is installing the windspeed indicator while still in Port Aransas.  It gets repeated in St. Petersburg as the original one quit working with the first storm.

He seems to get to go up the mast pretty frequently!   Looked like a real challenge to scale the top 10 feet to install the new halyard.  Fortunately, Matt the rigger and his wife Crystal gave Dan a tip about making steps with a rope wrapped around the mast.  Then hiking the steps up one by one as he ascended.  No pictures of that, too busy gritting my teeth!

That was in May.  I'll tell you more about May soon.  Time flies!  Right now we are in Ft. Myers and plan to leave tomorrow.  It's beautiful out, sunny and blue skies.

Happy trails to you!

Marty
