[Rhodes22-list] Mast Stuff

[John Tonjes]

Brad,
I'm usually to drunk to see them and end up taking them along for the ride.
Sometimes motor boats get to close and wrap them around their props and
that's when I remember that extra little kick I got from my drink.

Rummy,

What is your method of touching the mast to overhead
wires?  Do you ease up to them or just go for it?
