This is an amateur photo of the Leeuwin taken 30m above the deck, at the top of the main mast. We were in Australians south-west in about 30knots of wind (force 7 I believe) and I’m surprised I didn’t drop the camera :P

You're a brave man, Peter. That's a amazing perspective, though. Great shot; hope to see more!

Wow... Crazy shot! I love it. Glad to enjoy it from a far though. I think I would not be able to lay down, I would have my head over the side clearing out my insides....

Great shot! I would have been clinging on for grim death instead of taking pictures, mind you not sure I would have gone up there in the first place lol.
