[Rhodes22-list] Vexed on Ventilation (To All)

[Joe Camp]

To All Who Replied:
Hey guys and girls, Thanks for the great advice. The front vent to the rode locker seems to me the place to pop in the vent fan. Wonderful, wonderful. You are my trial and error avoidance solution.  Muchas gracias, mis amigos y amigas.

I removed the rode locker for mote storage space in the v berth and  
also use the mesh bag stored in the lazaret.  I single hand and find  
deployment from the cockpit works great.
