Eagle's Royal

If you don't like heights, climbing EAGLE's mast to the Royals is not the best idea.

And I absolutely love this video.

The pucker factor increases as you get higher....

I recommend making the video "full screen".

Classic final (in the background) line in that video, "You don't want to clip into that..."

HAHA! I didn't catch that. Very true. Swab summer I was assigned to the main royal...I took everything VERY slowly.

Cool! My son was in that video! He had told me it was quite exhilarating.

Climing the masts during swab summer

All of the swabs will have an opportunity to climb the masts aboard the Eagle. If your son or daughter wears contacts, there is a good chance he or she will wear glasses during swab summer and on the Eagle as there is really no time for contacts. Our daughter, who is a 4th class, had to remove her glasses to climb the masts as they would not allow the swabs to climb with anything that could fall off of them. She enjoyed her climb, but needless to say, the ocean looked a little out of focus!!
