Bob,,, I like your "safety first" approach. You are right on, when it
looks like nothing can go wrong ...........................

I will take another closer look at the whole issue.

The expense ,, $200 dollars or so ,, for a Magma grill .. that has me
thinking as well.

Hi
Dont take me too seriously. I enjoy burnt veggies and grilled meat
with a good Merlot ($6.50/bottle) along with every one else. I think
its one of thoes personal touches every owner will make. My friend
Mark's story really opened my eyes. And at the time my daughter was an
early teen. When I took her and friends sailing I did not want to
spend my time yelling at them to keep them safe so I just started
"teen proofing" my boat/house/yard/life/etc.

Becuse of the type of boating now do I removed the grill cause 1) my
friend Mark's event and 2) it would most likly get ripped off the back
rail by a wave. I am generally a "stone age" sailor. No refegeration.
hand pump freshwater water from a tank, ability to live with a 400 ah
house bank with maybe a weekly charge when out. Solar panels to come
soon. But I expect fully to get flamed on this philosophy.

But please talk to a fire fighter that also
sails.......................................... see what they have to
say about flames on a boat.




So how do you cook, Bob? MRE's with heatpacks? Can't be an electric stove,
so there's gotta be a flame-producing stove on that boat somewhere, unless
you live on raw food and unheated canned goods.

Hi: Reasonable question. I do have a two burner propane stove on
board.But how do I cook? These last few years Ive lived at about N45.
At the slip I use my microwave 99% of the time. On the water my meals
are "simple" that require cooking about every 4th day. When in the
warmer climes N30 and below I rarely cook with a stove. No I dont eat
MRE or chew on cans. I eat very tasty meals. It is possible. Ask your
self how do all the poor people in the world eat when refergeration is
not possible, wood an fuel are scarce or too expensive for cooking?

How do they survive????
