The marriage test

Every year we test our marriage with a trust exercise – I go up the mast. If Kathy doesn’t let go of the line, I figure we’re good. This year she fired a shot across the bow though.

Our phone communication stopped working correctly as I was between the last spreader and top of the mast. Kathy was dutifully winching me up and I was panicking because there was no way for me to tell her to stop.

I felt my heart pounding as I tried to think of a way to communicate. I tapped on the mast but it was cold and hurt my knuckles. Up and up I went. I was running out of time. I decided to go old school and screamed like a little girl. Because she heard me, or concerned that there might be witnesses (I’ll never know), she stopped and allowed us to reset.

Anyway, the new SuperMastCam is installed. Enjoy!
