Will:  The only way to go.  We pulled "NoKaOi" several times in preparation
for a hurricane down here in Florida.  Once I waited just a bit too long.
Dropping the mast with high winds and rain is not fun.  These activities are
what also convinced me that if you have the IMF, you have to have GB's mast
lowering/raising system.

Panic early!  Avoid the rush!
