If you read our previous posts, you might be aware that after we resealed our shroud chain plates & replaced all the bolts securing them, the middle shroud on the port side was no longer taut above the spreader. It appeared to be stuck in the the spreader clamp on the end of the spreader. Alex goes up to investigate and do some maintenance work.

| Investigating.. |

| His idea to attach 2 ladders together to reach the spreader |

| Does not look very secure to me |
 |
| Look at the base! What do you think? |
 |
| A rope tied around the shrouds to keep them from slipping off the end of the spreader |

| A close up of the spreader clamp which was removed for cleaning |
 |
| The top spreader (before cleaning) I feel slightly nauseous just looking at the photo. It's a good thing Alex has no fear of heights |

Good work! Which do you think is scarier, working at this height over land or water?
