Re small fans. I have a small battery powered fan that I've used for at least 15 years; one half of an Everglades Challenge, four Tx 200's, and a number of canoe camping trips from one to six days.
Just went out to get the make and model and panicked when it wasn't where it was supposed to be, there's another Texas 200 right around the corner. Fortunately found near its normal storage spot it is an O2Cool 5" model runs on 2 D cells. Positioned to blow gently on my face it has done yeoman's service so far.
Thanks for weighing in, Skip. I agree that the battery-powered mini-fans have a lot of advantages, besides lower cost. And it sure sounds like that little fan is built well! I hope the latest generation does as well as yours has.
Actually, probably not in "Yachting"...since those boats are typically equipped with big diesel engines (boy, an 18' Ranger Tug would be really nice on rainy days...). Personally, I have a camp van (kind of an RV...) and many small trailer-sailers that range from 10 to 19 feet; and the bigger ones are big enough to take advantage of some small creature comforts as I travel about ; )
