Bob, ignore those idiots on Alt.sailing.asa. With temps on the LIS commonly
in excess of 90 degrees, temps beneath a dodger or in the cabin can become
dangerous for children. You're wife was correct to be concerned as all children
are different and can't always tolerate high temps. My daughter has had
problems, especially as an infant with this, but it improved by our 2nd year
aboard. I especially like that idiot Katy, who thinks a nurse training for med
S. would be trained in pediatrics! Donal's advice may be best. Observe
carefully and take it slow before committing to even short trips. You'll see,
it will all go well. Let us know when the 41 is ready!

You're angling for a bigger boat.


The angling is over and the bigger boat is all picked out. We're currently
deciding if the Chesapeak suits us or if we should seek warmer climates.

geeks are usually smart, I'd say he's more Dork than geek.

You wouldn't like the Chesapeake, it's polluted and there's hardly
ever any wind over 4kts. In the summer it's very hot and humid, bad
for baby's health. 85% of the bay is only 5' deep, lots of groundings.
Sharks in the lower bay, poisonous jelly fish are abundant every
where. Lots of power boat and big ship traffic. Pirate ships, too.
Dead fish floating and tons of crab traps to foul your prop. Marina
thefts have risen 225% the last 3 years.

Don't stop here on your way south. The sailors on the Chesapeake would show

Every neonatal intensive care unit in the country is air conditioned.
Maybe they're trying to drum up business.

Hey idiot - just because you're hot doesn't mean the runt is. Air
conditioning can cause major lung problems. What not use water mist?

You're angling for a bigger boat.
