I'm with you Ben. My idea of roughing it these days is a cheap hotl.

I've  done overnights in the 30s, and woken up to a light frost on deck.
Long  underwear and a decent sleeping bag is plenty for that temp.   Colder
than that, and it's no fun to sail when you wake up anyway, so I'd  camp on
land or stay home.

Subject: Re: [Rhodes22-list] heater  in the cabin

The problem with all heaters that burn fuel is that they  consume oxygen.  
Personally, I wouldn't use one in a Rhodes under any  conditions. Electric 
heat  is the only safe heat that I can think of,  unless you go to 
installing
a  
permanently mounted heater with a  stack and fresh air source. 
I'm beginning to think that a lot of our  owners are just wimps. Haven't 
you 
people ever done any cold weather  camping? Warm sleeping bags and cold 
weather  clothing are better  than suffocating in your sleep from carbon 
monoxide  poisoning or  setting the boat on fire. Yeah, I know. It sounds
kind  of 
funny  coming from a guy who stores his gasoline in the   lazzerette.
