    Cool! I was thinking also of having an inflatable balloon built into
    the top of the mast, with a CO2 cartridge or hand pump, to help bring
    the mast top up to the surface. Once the mast tip is on the surface, it
    shouldn't take that much to get it the rest of the way over. In fact if
    the reason it flipped in the first place was waves, then the same waves
    ought to flip it upright if you can just get the mast tip to the
    surface. Might take a pretty big balloon for a large cat, though.
