It sounds a bit like you haven't slept while underway. If a boat tacks
while you are unsecured, and asleep, it can be bloody uncomfortable.


That's why you fit lee cloths.

Yeah, I know that I should have done that by now. I usually use kit bags,
and anything else I can find to jam myself in. I suppose that if I had the
use the main cabin, then there would be lee cloths.

However, there is a lot of truth on both sides of the argument in this
thread. Elanor Tims (or Timms??), recently told us that her boat sunk
by
6" after she got it prepared for an extended cruise. My boat sinks by
about an inch when we prepare for our 2 week summer cruises.

Only an inch? I'd say when fully loaded with food, booze, water and
diesel for a 4 week trip we the WL is half way up the boot topping.

Food, and booze are much cheaper at our destination (France usually).
