That reminds me of a really nice yacht I saw that was getting ready  
to go through cape may.   The captain prior to going out into some  
not too bad head seas(3 to 5) was seen taping up his windows.  I was  
going to help him cast off as we were packed in tight, and he  
commented after getting done well when it's not blowing they work  
really well.  I have two nice hatches up top and the dutch doors give  
me all the ventilation I need when underway.
