content: Oh man, I saw this pic on sailinganarchy some years ago and it gave me vertigo just looking at it!  So I got a nifty mastclimber thing to try to help me force myself to get over my ridiculous fear of hights. I made it to the spreaders and clung to the mast for awhile trying the nerve to climb the rest of the way to take my version of the pic [and also examine what's going on at the masthead], but I noped the fuck back down again. I clearly just need to keep trying!  I ended up paying a better sailor than myself to do the climbing with a decent bottle of scotch. It's nice to be able to pay others to do things I'm scared of doing!
