So OK UPDATE 2. Just so you guys don't think I know everything right off ... as I often say I have forgotton more stuff than most people will ever know. Perhaps it was stuff that no one really would want to know. ...

So today i sent the new kid up the mast ... his first time ... duh... MS in mechanical engineering ... and i tacked the head cam on so I could see what he saw up there. [will look at that video later.]

the white with blue tracer was NOT my second spin halyard but holding up the genny on the harken roller. so my crew had not blown the shackle end of the second spin halyard after all ... good crew is hard to find ... I'll keep these at least for now.

and the second spin halyard was just hanked just where it was supposed to be on the mast.

I like the idea of sending crew up the mast with a headcam ... but I now want to find one of those with wifi that will tie into the cell phone so I can see what they are seeing real time. and then add 2 way audio.
