Prefered Firplaces

Okay, there are a couple of options for heating. the first is dickinson's fireplace

or the second option is from force 10 propane heater


the dickinson seems to be a bit less expensive and has a better asthetic look to it. Supose would be the best choice. any input would be apreciated.

Interior thoughts for Harpoon

Was browsing sailboat pictures and seen a location for cabin heat that would probably work fine w/ a little heat sheild that could even be portable. The removable pad on the aft bulkhead of the nav table looks like a very nice spot. should allow adequate ventalation tube length and a nice central location with great access to the cockpit locker where it should be fairly simple to install the proper cylinder locker with ventalation out the stern. may want to use one w/ smaller profile.

Started a to do list for winter 04

Warmed up today, kind of surprising. The Harpoon is for sale, kinda. We ran an ad in 48 degrees north for a month to see what would happen. got a lot of interest but so far nobody has made an offer. showed a couple the boat today and while I was there started a list of things to get done this winter or next spring, depending on the mood of the winter months :) I currently have a lot of things in the hopper that demand the use of my free time but should be short term (in the big picture). Haven't been out sailing in quite some time now, seems like 6 weeks or so. will have to concetrate on making time in the next couple weekends. Warm temps and decent breezes made it real tempting today but I guess there will be other great days
