I saw your mention of work in mountain rescue! When I was a volunteer crew member on tall ship Elissa at the Texas Seaport Museum in Galveston, I was trained in rig rescue. Our job was to get into this harness and be hoisted aloft to help should a crew member be injured in the rigging (80-100 feet above the deck) and unable to climb down.
This me in about 1989 on a training exercise. Luckily I never was called on to do it for real. -
Just a little #ThrowbackThursday
One thing I know that's a little different: I can sail a square-rigged vessel. I was a volunteer crewmember aboard the tall ship #Elissa at the #TexasSeaportMuseum in #Galveston at the end of the 80s. I was the museum's assistant director in 1990-91.
That's me just to the left of the mast, helping furl the main topgallant.
