moisture to make a real difference

They do make a difference. We use 4 of them...one in each cabin plus one
in
the head...and I dump out the "collection" about 3 times a winter...and we
don't have mildew on the boat....

I tried them a few years ago, and I found that they filled up in a week.
As I couldn't get down to the boat every week, I felt that they were a
waste of time. However, since I started leaving the ports open, I haven't
had any problems.

Walt asked:
Isn't it a bit cold to be sailing naked this early in the season?

You bet! Slept on the hook last night with temp around 36F....brrrr....2
peoples and a poodle crammed into the v-berth with every quilt, blanket, and
throw on the boat...ran the boat in to the docks this morning and went to
get breakfast..came back to blowing like snot which was nice for the
Melges34/J24 regatta...and no water turned on yet so our cleaning project
has been delayed until tomorrow when it's supposed to at least hit
60....every time Mr Sials complained about the cold I reminded him about how
much he hates Florida....

That's cause you wouldn't have anything else to sleep on all winter if you
didn't...

Sailing the boat more than once a year might help.

Nope... but I'm not putting a fan and dehumidifier onboard for the winter.

I left nothing on the boat like blankets and pillows etc. It is stripped
clean each year. I live in Nova Scotia... it's wet here.
