How to get a close-up look when the object is 12 meters above the deck!





I have been up and down my main and mizzen masts many times over the years and even though, I am usually very afraid of heights, on the boat, height does not bother me. So going up the mast is a routine. However, sometimes, you remember that you forgot something, just as soon as you come back down and stand on the deck. Now you have 2 options. No.1 is to go back-up, No.2 is..... Well, that is when a digital camera comes in very handy, indeed! I needed to confirm hole locations at the masthead to use for mounting an ACTIVE-X RTE antenna. A couple of snapshots later, using my 10X optical zoom, I now know what to do!
