We need to BAN all Flammable Fossil Fuels from boats
I worked on an albacore boat off of the SoCal coast in the summer of ‘65. Lot’s of interesting memories to say the least. I remember the captain being extra careful with the propane tanks. He turn them on and off every time we used the stove. As he put it, the propane is heavier than air and if there were a leak, it would all end up in the bilge. An explosion there and you lose the bottom of your boat, which, I was told was an important part of staying afloat.
Probably old news to you old salts, but it was a revelation to me—never would have thought of it.
