Joyce and I went out to Rose Lee tonight to try and do something about the Ospreys landing on the mast head. I bought a SS rod 1/8" X 36" and was going to try and mount it vertically near the wind instruments that are being used as a perch. The idea is if an Osprey comes in to land they will get a poke in the belly and pick another mast. Armed with my rod and a few tools Joyce hoisted me to the mast top (gotta like electric winches) and I went to work. It was a little windy up top but not bad enough to cause any issues, I just had to be super careful taking my time and hanging on to my tools securely etc... I decided to fasten my rod to the forestay above the furler where I could bend it into the angle required to prevent unauthorized landings and take offs. I attached the rod to the forestay with a couple of small SS hose clamps. With this small job completed Joyce lowered me to the deck and now we will wait and see, its been 24 hours with pretty good luck but who knows. I will keep you updated:)
