Hiii all,
We had our boat launched last week and needed some masthead work done. As we set up for climbing the mast we noticed a large amount of hornets swarming the masthead. We soaked a rag with hornet spray and pulled it to the top only to see them flying around every spreader and the very top. I then tied a garden hose to the flag halyard and we pulled it to the top. I was able to spray water into the masthead by the sheaves by slowly raising and lowering the hose. We’ll see tomorrow if I have any luck.
