O.K. Steve, so now I'm 70 feet or so off the deck. I'm standing on a
piece of angle iron thats U-bolted to the mast. I'm praying that my mast
is still nice and strong. I tell myself that this is kind of crazy but
as a friend of mine once told me "In times like this, Amateur Radio must
go on". So I stay with it. How is my climbing lanyard attached so that
it keeps me nice and close in to the mast? This is definitely time for 2
lanyards right?
