OK, so the considerate folks that park downwind when running their gensets, what do you do when the wind or current switches, and it will? If you are sending exhaust down someones ports or hatches you are anchored way too close. In the open with sufficient space this should never be an issue.

unless you're very close it's really a non issue. I've anchored in crowded spots, downwinds of boats with gennies and i've never noticed any smell. you'dl have to be really on top of them to smell it. pascal ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chuck and Susan" <sea_trek_2000@yahoo.com> To: "Trawler and Trawlering" <trawlers-and-trawlering@lists.samurai.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 31, 2009 11:56 AM Subject: Re: T&T: Genset annoyances > OK, so the considerate folks that park downwind when running their > gensets, > what do you do when the wind or current switches, and it will?

In one case the genset outlet was less than 20 feet from our aft cabin door, and directly upwind. Now that's noisy, stinky and just plain inconsiderate.
