Has anyone tried one if the portable hammocks on the island? This looks like it would fit well on top of the crossbars http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003ED9T6 ... mp_s_a_1_3 |

There is a lot to this AI addition. There is a fine line between sleeping on board and 'trying' to sleep on board. Sure, there are many things that can be adapted to suit but it's not just about being comfortable for a half hour, it's also about staying dry, warm and protected from the weather, whilst getting a good nights sleep. As well as all the other issues like setup time and weight restrictions and corrosion resistance etc, etc. |

I was going to tell you that the mirage drive hanging like that looks like a croc's open mouth pointing down so it will scare off the real ones, but you would never have believed me

It works pretty well. I've never had a croc attack. (The fly stays taut too). |
