Up There

Training ship Amerigo Vespucci A 5312, Vidhar 2012, Livorno
Somebody had to lift the admiral's flag on top of the mainmast of the “Amerigo Vespucci”.

    Bad enough going up the rigging in calm weather in port, but think about going up there to reef a sail during a storm with the sea pitching. Sailors had both skill and courage. Wonderful images.

    The first one, catching the motion is my favourite here.

    Glad there is someone else to do it! I don't think I'd make it. :)
