I like a polypro/dynema blend for sheets because they don't absorb

the block, and then you capsize. I hate it when that happens.


I especially dislike the "clunk" it makes, capsizing into frozen water.


When this happend to me, the water was liquid, but the air temp was below
freezing. So no "clunk", just a splash, followed immediately by the sort
of vocalization you might expect under the circumstances.


Have you been frostbiting, Walt?
