At the end of the season our starboard spinnaker halyard parted 15 inches from 
the snap shackle.  At the time the halyard would not pull down through the mast.

After unstepping the mast for the season I tried playing with the other spin 
and jib halyards to see if this could nudge it loose.  It did not.

The halyard is still just shy of full hoist and jammed inside the mast.  The 
other spin halyard and the jib and main halyards seem to be running freely

Any thoughts on how I can retrieve this halyard from the mast?

This is a standard white painted aluminum mast from the mid eighties.  Think 
C&C 33-2 mast

Thanks in advance
