Camelot attacked from the inside



Oh no what a mess!!!, We are trying to drop an internal Halyard for the the drifter, Neil was hauled to the top of the mast and a weighted line was dropped down inside the mast. 100 ft of line was fed in but no sign of it at the bottom, so Neil was lowered only to get stuck two thirds up the mast, couldn't go up or down!!! The rescue was performed with the other halyard and after several journeys up and down, head scratching, thoughts of having to drop the mast, we managed to pull Camelot's innards out , after delicate surgery Camelot's internals were free again.
