I kept expecting the squirrel to bite the dude. Then when it tried to climb the mainsheet, I bet if it hadn't been so tired it would have climbed right up the sail, now you have a squirrel hanging onto the top batten!

It's a good thing it wasn't Bullwinkle Moose! That H16 would have never been the same.
