"For the truth is that I already know as much about my fate as I need to know. The day will come when I will die. So the only matter of consequence before me is what I will do with my allotted time. I can remain on shore, paralyzed with fear, or I can raise my sails and dip and soar in the breeze."--Richard Bode

Up the mast the old man goes
Rick went up the mast for the first time to replace the anchor light, adjust wind vane and install new Lazy Jack lines. Lazy jack lines catch the sail as it is dropped making putting sails away properly an easier task. This latter installation was to please the wife who struggles with the new heavy main sail. The first mate is happy now.
