Standing in Bosun's chair

Necessity is the mother of invention. I have a bosun's chair that has a board for a seat. I did exactly as the previous poster stated. NO JOKE ABOUT IT. I stood in the chair and tied my body the mast chest high with a harness and was able to look down on top of my mast. 62'. It's not fun, I took an extra line to tie off with but it got the job done. I my be one brick short of a load, but didn't have any teenagers in the Exuma's to climb my mast like a monkey. I got the job done and got down. Would do it again only in an emergency, but like all things, be careful.
