Up There

Somebody had to lift the admiral's flag on top of the mainmast of the “Amerigo Vespucci”.

Too high for me. Great shots.

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.

Someone does have to do it VP but I'm sure glad it's not me! Super images.

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