How do you heat your trailer sailer?

I used the little stove with clay pots over the flame to take the chill off and perk the coffee.
The bed covers are made of down and under us was the original cushions, plus the cockpit seat covers, plus a memory foam pad and open sleeping bags.

Next time I will put a tarp over the boom as a tent to keep off the due and add a carbon monoxide detector.

The little wife is game for more sleep-overs!!

I stack our cushions...

... in the middle of the cockpit and 'kind of' tie them down every night. They are under the bimini if it is deployed and that helps with the dew. Also the dry-fast foam and the open cushion material lets us sit on them immediately and close to that even if it rained on them. I'm kind of paranoid about the wind taking them over the side if it were to come up and hate to get out of bed in the middle of the night to tend to things in the dark.

We will probably sew some loops into the backs of them at some point that a line could past through and either leave them in place or still stack them. Stacked on end keeps the dew off the sitting part.

Glad to know you guys had a good time. We love being out on the boat overnight at some remote spot,

Please explain the clay pot trick...that's a new one to me.

Some links to methyl hydrate fuels risks. Seems like you'd want to avoid using it as fuel in closed spaces above 64 degrees.
