Vee Jay's port trimmer decided that as she is the strongest, and lightest of the crew ... and not on the injured reserve list (of which we currently have two crewmembers on) ... she would be the one to get the spin halyard back down. And also check out the spreader bases.
BUT I NOW HAVE A PROBLEM ... I heard a couple of members of the crew saying that it might be fun to do this spin halyard retrieval thing more often. I haven't voted yet.
