I saw your mention of work in mountain rescue! When I was a volunteer crew member on tall ship Elissa at the Texas Seaport Museum in Galveston, I was trained in rig rescue. Our job was to get into this harness and be hoisted aloft to help should a crew member be injured in the rigging (80-100 feet above the deck) and unable to climb down.
This me in about 1989 on a training exercise. Luckily I never was called on to do it for real.

I am hanging by a webbing is harness, like seat belt material, and being hoisted by 4 crew members using a "capstan," a very large winch on the deck. I am wearing jeans and a red crew shirt on the 1877 barque Elissa, at the Texas Seaport Museum in Galveston Texas.

Just a little #ThrowbackThursday

One thing I know that's a little different: I can sail a square-rigged vessel. I was a volunteer crewmember aboard the tall ship #Elissa at the #TexasSeaportMuseum in #Galveston at the end of the 80s. I was the museum's assistant director in 1990-91.

That's me just to the left of the mast, helping furl the main topgallant.

Looking up from the deck of a 19th century square rigged barque, 4 crewmembers are high in the rigging, perhaps 80 feet above the deck.  They are pulling in and furling a large square sail.  The breeze is fresh, and wind has caught one corner of the sail, which billows as it is caught and tied up.  The masts are wooden, white on the lower levels and varnished higher up. 

There is a bright sky behind everyone with scattered high clouds.
