Hey guys,

How about that ole standby - the electric blanket??

They don't use much wattage, have an adjustable control are already UL
approved.
In fact they use so little power you can power one with a very small
inverter if your shorepower quits.

The product is specifically designed not to cause fires, or even burns
when used in the bed.
Who would have thought it? < VBG :-)))

I just found a source for 300 watt/240V baseboard heaters. Consider
those even better suited as all I am looking for is a wee bit of
constant warmth under the bunks.

Been there, done that. However I was looking for warmth UNDER the
mattress and to keep that whole area dry.
Also: Electric Blanket $60.-, Baseboard Heater $20.-

Cheap /no, THRIFTY George ;-)

P.s: Must apologize for spelling/typo errors - sorry.... (Yes, I have
a spell checker. But, unlike my old schoolmarm, it doesn't activate

To George Geist, Scaramouche, frozen in Ontario...

I can't help and have to ask. 27 foot is not such a big boat to spend the
winter in it. If I remember well by the photos you sent me some time ago,
your boat must be covered with tarpaulin and 2 X 4 structure... It gets dark
at 4 o'clock. Evenings must be long and cold... Canadian winter last almost
6 months.

I understand you're retired and therefore, I assume, free as a bird. How
come you don't sail your boat down south and, from there, visit your
daughter in Ontario once in a while?

Do you get P.off once in a while and wish you would get a little cabin with
a warm fireplace?

Six years, you said : what do you like the most about it, and what do you
regret from "standard comfort life"?

Does your boat age faster?

The journalist in me had to ask...
