The mast is only 26' (30' from deck) so I can probably put a ladder part way up and use an extension pole to hook it.
But that got me to thinking: if I put a 2-3' long pole in front with a fish hook and line on it, might be able to use the drone to hook it on. It's a little tricky because a "crane" (horizontal extension about 9" long) is at the top of the mast so I can't go straight up or down, have to approach from the side.
Anyone ever try something like this? Here's what it looks like, but instead of the line coming down there's a knot under the crane.
