[Rhodes22-list] Final sail

[John Shulick]

Chris,

The Coleman lantern is definitely the hot hookup (pun intended) for heating
the cabin in chilly weather. In  May when we launched the temp overnight hit
38* and we were snug and comfortable. The only problem was contemplating the
trip to the head at 3:30 am or so. Definitely regretting the half case of
beer consumed during the evening. I'm going to have to adopt Rummys'
philosophy of hard liquor consumption in order to stay warm.

Wish I was still sailing
