[Rhodes22-list] Mike C and squirrels new home in Ohio

[Mary Lou Troy]

It needs to be that high to give you a good angle to start raising 
the mast using the GBI mast raising system. If it were lower, when 
you cranked on the winch it would just compress the mast into the 
tabernacle rather than lifting it. We store our mast on the stern 
rail for the winter so the boat is easier to cover. We used to take 
the mast off completely and stow it tied to the rafters of the garage 
but we don't have a garage here in MD
