Softie Bruce...back on the main land

Tired of having to shoo the kitties off his recliner, he bought the cats a kitty tree.  They love it and no more competition of the living room chairs!

This is what finally took us out

See the curved metal between the first and second spreader on starboard?  No way we could be on starboard tack with that missing.
We were lucky that the whole mast didn't come down!

We saw zero boat speed and had gusts to 40 kts

Didn't have a camera to record the 40 kts gusts.

One bowman's idea of mast climbing

 Andy doesn't like the bosuns chair and preferred his climbing gear.   Looks uncomfortable?  His choice.
