It's not so much the height - as the sway...
You ever see a cat skeleton up in a tree?

But then again, once seldom sees a kitten up an aluminum mast :-)

I saw one try once.
VERY frustrated cat!


My temporary dock neighbor has a large, black cat. He tells me that he
spends most of the time anchored out and I wonder about the cat. Does
one take the cat for a run ashore? Maybe let it loose for the night so
it can see the kitty sights? Singing loud songs and fighting?

Cheers,

Bruce

A couple of
hours in those fabric stirrups and you're a cripple.
Climbing boots will not crush even slightly. Cowboy boots are designed
to go in stirrups.

You are NOT wearing those on MY deck, sonny!


I have a pair of steel-toed work/hiking boots with light (almond)
colored soles that do not seem to mark. My climbing rig has nice wide
footboards, so I could theoretically go up barefoot comfortably, but
the opportunity to smash or sever toes would be great.



Yeahbut - he was talking Cowboy boots - probably with spurs.

(people DO wear spurs around here)


No one is talking Cowboys anything today~
