John:
I was referring to the "Flower Pot" cover over the propane burner producing
CO2. The hot water radiator would potentially avoid this problem and that's
why I'm exploring it.
We just lost a boating couple up here who turned on a propane heater and
went to sleep on the boat. They never woke up and I don't want join them
just yet.

We heard about that approach too. We subsequently heard that the
potential
for carbon monoxide and other nasty gases is too likely. It would be
fine
with the companion way open so it remains an option...


Were does the CO ( & other nasty gases ) come from in what is hot water
radiator?
Only possible source I can think of is exhaust from the engine but we are
all risk limited exposure to this when motoring.

As far as the 40 degree temps: it keeps most of the Stink potters in
their
slips and we then have the Sound to ourselves. It really is fantastic
sailing and doesn't get that cold very often. It's usually a balmy 50 or
so
