BF>> Decent 94F.... then we're sweating our guts out.

 CS> Well, remember also I dont deal with cold like you do.

BF> When it's cold it's always possible to put on more clothes but it's an
BF> thing to take clothes off when it's warm when you're nekkid.

Ah but I'm used to that.  Doesnt bother me a bit unless I'm trying to
sleep.  ¨Then, I need a good fan on me or something.

BF> 30F is -1.1C and as I said to Roger, a sunny day with 20F and 2 feet s
BF> is just as beautiful as a day on the beach.

I suppose so but I dont really enjoy it that much.

 CS> that sucks. (for the C challanged out there, 50C is 120F). 50C on a steel
 CS> ship is no fun.

BF> Once in Greece it was 50C so I have a clue about how it can be on a st

Most unfun.  Thats too hot even for me.

 CS> The worst was when I had to climb the aft mast to do a
 CS> maintenance check.  The 'goop' we use on the antennas was melting at all
 CS> the connectors and we had to scrape it off and reapply it several times.

BF> Don't you have better stuff than that?
Thats the best there is.  It's all weather stuff so can take the cold or
the ¨heat.  You have to have it that way or if the ship goes through a cold
¨location, the antenna goop will mess up the connections.

 CS> not assign someone to do something they are really scared to do w
 CS> do it and it doesnt scare me.  (Ok, long sentance there but you got the
 CS> idea).

BF> Yup. Don't like hights either and not caves either. Almost panic in a
BF> cave when in Thailand. It was so small and narrow so I had to go with
BF> right side first.

I'm not fond of small spaces either.  I can deal with them, but do not
enjoy ¨them at all.

BF> It is for me, as the ships CO.
