Re: CO detectors, marine or regular model?

We have both a marine CO AND a Kidde with 10-yr battery. Zero false alarms on the Kidde. The better Kidde version has a useful digital readout of CO levels.

Re: Buying a boat & home base: Canada or UK?

A view from Canada's west coast: it doesn't freeze up here on the British Columbia coast, and people liveaboard all year round. Not to say there aren't some COLD days/nights.
