Sabreman will become famous soon enough
zz4gta - Thanks, I figure that SOMETHING will stop me before I hit the deck

What absolutely amazes me is that when I was in my teens and working in boatyards in Ocean City, NJ, I'd shimmy up masts on 30'-35' boats without thinking about it. My pockets would be stuffed with all sorts of tools and I'd keep my legs and part of one arm wrapped around the mast while I worked one and a half handed. Everyone was bsy at the yard were I worked and the owner never thought to ask if I needed a "lift". Amazing. I'm not as strong anymore which is probably a good thing because I'd probably try it again to replace that silly light just above the spreaders

I had one of the recalled WM Chairs but replaced it with a real nice Harken chair. Haven't used it yet, but need to.
