Description
The view looking down from sitting on the crosstrees on the Pacific Swift's foremast while sailing at about 8.9 knots (fast for a sailing ship). This is looking back towards the stern of the ship.Related content

Wow. I totally understand why you like the ship book sculptures now. Congratulations, you've combined my fears of water and heights! Awesome picture though. I love that you can see the affect the boat is having all around it on the water.

I definitely was! I've been trying to work on my fear of heights. Last year I only made it up to below the crosstrees (what I was sitting on while I took this pic).

Have you had a bad experience with a ladder?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
when I was young I had a 2 story bed, while going down the ladder I fell down and broke 2 of my teeth and cut the little thing that keeps the lower lip attached to the gum. It got back together in a weird way, but people say they love my smile without knowing why it's different, so I guess it's okay x3
But my two front teeth are fragile and the corners always end up breaking.

Oh no! >.< That must have hurt. I have a friend who had his two front teeth broken from a frisbee to the face at close range. When I was little I really wanted a two story bed (we call them bunk beds) but my parents wouldn't let me get one. I guess now I know why.

yeah, I never took the upper bed after that, but I discovered that I could hang a blanket in front of the floor bed by squeezing it under the mattress of the top bed and I used that as my private place I lot when I was a kid, no little brothers allowed
