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!
