Hammocks are standard issue for boat travel, but also for the offbeat places you may stop along the way. Where I stayed in local "backcountry" areas, the houses have hooks around as well - that's just how you sleep. Don't forget the mosquito netting to hang over it. The maze of rope when you get a room full of hammocks is pretty impressive. -----Original Message----- From: patmossz <patmossz_at_msn.com> To: Sailboat Restorations, Inc. <sailboatrestorations_at_worldnet.att.net>; (Pete Cresswell) <hc_at_FatBelly.com>; paddlewise_at_paddlewise.net <paddlewise_at_paddlewise.net> Date: Sunday, October 15, 2000 21:41 Subject: Re: [Paddlewise] Hennessy Hammock: Functional Equivalents? >Just in case you go to the Amazon, take your hammock, unless you have >chartered a boat.
