It’s true, Beverly is now officially a mast monkey. She officially earned that title by her assent to the head of the mast and successfully performed a task. She photographed and investigated the source of the chafing that was happing to our jib halyard.
This will now be duly entered in the ship’s crew registry and and an appropriate increase in her daily compensation (grog ration) will take effect immediately.
Bev had gone up a mast of a previous boat but that was only half way up, as a “tourist”, with no assigned task but this time she did it right, all the way to the top.
Being the neat person that she is and an overall good sailor who takes great pride in her boat, she even paused on the way down to clean the spreaders.
Way to go Bev!
Now yur sailing....
