Spreaders: Another Coat of Varnish

Taking care of projects while this beautiful weather lasts .... The rest of you maybe raking leaves, but we're ...

Notice the gantline (4 block purchase) so that J. can pull himself up the mast. Hard to see the other safety lines to keep him there. The box is holding the varnish, gloves, sandpaper etc.

And a bit of creativity worked to hold him out from the mast. J. attached a carabiner to the upper shroud. Tied a line to it, ran it outside the lower shroud, around him once in a loop, then over to the other upper shroud (staying outside the lower shroud) to another carabiner. This allowed him to pull himself out from the mast, while not having to hold onto the freshly varnished spreader.

Now if only J. can remember how he rigged this up for the next time ...
