Mariquita Book - mk2.5

Once the spinnaker is set there is not
much more I can do except enjoy the
view. I’m in a pretty unique position
up there. But if the wind gets up it’s a
different story.
If we get too much wind and the boat starts rounding
up it gets pretty scary. I’m standing where the main mast
runners attach to the main mast and hearing the sound
of the rig as it moves around can be hair-raising. You can
feel every bump on the runners that the guys make below
at deck level. You can feel and hear the entire rig flexing
and moving around you.
