What am I missing?

DING! Ding! We have a winner. Getting from the
cockpit to forward of the
dodger is the issue. I like going out over the
companionway. On deliveries, where I dont want to mess with an iffy
dodger, I rig lines along the side deck from the beam cleat to the stern cleat. From the
cockpit to forward of the dodger, I use the side deck, then clip onto the center jackline that is snubbed on the cabin top
winch.
Another method is to go from port stern cleat to starboard bow cleat, crossing the jackline aft of the
mast.
