Another two cents worth from the Ozarks: Mark's post on 1 December gave directions to the West Marine, and it does look good, but I much prefer my "Crazy Creek Original Chair" found at www.crazycreek.com/ interior.cfm?page=detail&item=1 I bought one many years ago for canoe camping, my back couldn't take sitting around the campfire at night without support. At five bucks cheaper, I feel it is not only a better buy, but much better construction. Check the specs on both. I use mine in the cockpit for sailing, and in the cabin for reading before nodding off at night when anchored out. Do it now!

Hello John: Thanks for the Crazycreek link and for the "4 thumbs up" post. Just ordered two for myself and my first mate. I echo your work post and only add it was mid 70's here, (Sun Diego) Monday-Tuesday and Wednesday. Later, Bill Larson M17 "Jo Ellen" "John R.

I have one of those Crazy Creek chairs. Works well. --Gary Hyde 2005 M17 sailboat #637 'Hydeaway 2' We can't change the wind, but we can trim our sails. On Dec 6, 2007, at 10:40 AM, John R. Butler wrote:

John, Thanks for the link to Crazy Creek and to everyone who has replied. I like the idea of using it with an inflatable pad. I used to own one that I think I let go when I sold my CD Tyhoon Sr. a number of years ago. I remember that it was a comfortable little chair that is easy to stow or take with you. I had forgotten about it. The West Marine chair is much larger and takes up more space, but it can also be used as a cockpit chair or flat cushion. I've owned both and I'll probably go with the Crazy Creek chair and inflatable pads. Thanks again to all who have responded. I appreciate everyone's feedback. Enjoy your day. Mark "John R.
