(May 12th 2017)

This evening I dug out my Aloft Alone mast climbing kit and shimmied up the mast.

I need to work out where and to install the bluetooth SailTimer wind instrument, which replaces to previous wired one. I had the rigger install a new “manual” wind vane last year – it lasted a few weeks before a pteradactyl knocked it off. 

Also, the  line for hoisting courtesy flags has been broken for a few months, so whilst on the way up I was able to get that fixed.

I previously sent my drone up to take a look (I should post this to YouTube) but have to get up there to touch, see and feel.

Here is what I saw..

Yacht Club, boat yard, Corpus.

Sunset, Corpus Christi

Base of wind vane, demolished by belligerent bird: new home of SailTimer

Tri-color mast nav & anchor light, green mousing string and redundant wind instrument cable from old unit
