[Rhodes22-list] Newbies

[David Bradley]

Welcome, Keld. I'll second Rummy's advice. The cockpit filler cushions
 make a great lounging surface while at anchor and at night, a
fantastic king-sized bed.  Our favorite option. (Well, after captains'
chairs and the bimini and a few others...)

I've also heard one of the list members talk about putting a
queen-size inflatable bed in the cabin, which I'm guessing could be
done with simple supports vs an elaborate extension.
