If the boat stayed stable and the mast perfestly 
vertical, there would be no problem with using a 
bosun's chair.  But the least destabilizing motion 
could lead to progressive lateral force on the 
mast as the boat listed and the chair swung 
outboard.

Barbara is doing well, thank you.  The healing 
process is now centered on restoring range of 
motion, muscle strength, posture, balance, and 
confidence.

The journey begins Tuesday.  Then it's up to 
Lufthansa.  May Aoleus breathe gently on us, 
Poseidon support us, and the Euro exchange 
rate move in our favor...
