Gosh an explosion on a day like today is serious stuff. Any word on how
he is doing and how the boat faired? Propane is not a good boat fuel. I
have a small single burner swinging propane stove, I keep the bottles in
the cockpit. Even with those I am not so sure where the "spilled" gas
goes. Everytime I use the small stove I pause and think. Joe McCaryAeolus
