Thank you for clarifying that!
Or Sara Lee, which I can't seem to put down.

BOAT - my Aquarius had a bunk or two that was basically a cubby hole under the cockpit seats. Is that the one you had a lee cloth rigged in?

OHHHHH!... I thought he meant loin cloth. It didn't make sense because John calls it a kilt! :wink: :D

Yeah, the one on the galley side - so your head is right next to the drawer where all the silverware is. I had one of my friends sailing with us once and she fell asleep on the same bunk while we were underway from Long Beach to Newport and she ended up down in the bottom where the rudder trunk was. We were just kids.

P.S. MAN! Tom, you have owned a lot of boats! I just saw a picture of that big thirty footer you had on another post. I know you had the Aquarius, and a MAC, how many others?? Are you one of those rich guys?
