At some point a visit up to the mast is in order. Well, that happened a couple of days ago and it was performed fearlessly by Enzo. Our necks were pretty sore from watching him from below and we were impressed how easily he went up, fixed a few things and shot some awesome GoPro shots. These images are spectacular! Mast height is about 21 m - that's 7 stories high!

the ultimate selfie
After a successful climb to the mast, a good lube on the pulleys, we went for a sailing lesson with John. We had some more docking and safety reviewing and then brought the catamaran back in. It wasn't until we had all the lines safely pulled in and everything in place that we noticed something was pulling the boat too close to the dock. Turns out the slime line was stuck in the prop - not good. Andreas put a mask on to see how bad it was and Enzo plunked the GoPro in the water to take some footage and assess the damage. Luckily Andreas was able to dive under and get the rope untied. Good lesson learned; when docking, check for lines!
