[C320-list] Bos'n Chair?

[Mark Koch]

WE use a bosun's chair and the main halyard to get to the top.  Taking the 
main halyard tail to the anchor windlass makes the job of going up very 
easy.  whaile you are up there, tighten the VHF antenna fitting, spray all 
of the mast head fittings with spider spray, and take a great picture of 
your boat and marina.
