Fruits & Vegies Hammock?
Hi group,
Everywhere I read it says that the best way to keep your fruits & vegetables on a boat is in a suspended hammock. I have looked high & low for a hammock around 18" to 24". Can't find one. What do people do? Jeannette Bristol 32 San Francisco Jeannette aa6jh Bristol 32, San Francisco http://www.eblw.com/contepartiro/contepartiro.html |

Wehave somethat we bought at West Marine. Don't use them any more after
our first trip. Unless you can string them in the centerofthe cabin they swing too much and bang the contents against the bulkheads bruising the contents. Also soft fruits tend to be cut by the threads of the hammock.

sea-dog.com makes these- item No.: 671100-1
I though that ABI marine had them, but was unable to find them in their online catalog. I think that Victory also imports them (they are popular in Canada) I have found these nets quite useful IF you can find a place to hang them such that the contents don't impact the vessel, otherwise you are left with a rotton mushy mess. I have found it useful to store potatoes and onions in the anchor locker using these nets. They make use of the unuseable space on either side of the pile of chain and if the potatoes all rot in a pile of black goo, it all just washes through the drain holes. I make sure I remove all produce before rounding Point Conception or the ponding will turn it to mush. hope this helps, David S/V Nausicaa |

pets. JT "jeannette" wrote in message ... Hi group, Everywhere I read it says that the best way to keep your fruits & vegetables on a boat is in a suspended hammock.

It was over the pilot berth so when I slept there it hung over my head. Her overloading it consistently caused it to collapse during the night showering me with fruit. I couldnt tell it was overloaded because it would be dark in the cabin. Drove me nuts. |
