Why live aboard sailors live longer.
 

One reason sailors who live aboard their boats live longer is they aren't living with radon gas.
Radon gas seeps up out of the ground and fills up your basement and gets into the other rooms in
your house. Radon gas comes from decaying radioactive ores in the ground. No radon gas gets into
boats because the hull keeps it out even if some should come bubbling up from the water.
Radon gas can cause some houses to be condemned because it gets so strong. Who knows how
much cancer is caused by radon instead of cigarette smoking? When I spend a weekend in Elle Niño
I feel much safer than at home possibly breathing radon gas. I wonder if there are any studies that
show radon makes people retarded. It could explain some of the posts here. :-)

No. My boat's way too small. I live in a condo up high probably where there's lower levels of radon gas.

I have a vacuum system in my basement that sucks the air and
traps the radon gas , it then pumps it into a pressure tank.
When the tank is full I hook it up to my gas BBQ outback.
Works like a charm.
