Good thing there were some live-aboards there or it could have been very much worse. There were boat houses and house boats right there and very close.

We were sailors before we fell in with this C-Dory crowd. Seems that there are plenty of sailors who use a candle on their boats - often under an over-turned clay pot... it takes the chill off the cabin. Now, I'm not saying it is a good idea, just relaying my experience with friends who have used candles on their boats. |

I might use one of the old type candle lanterns with glass on four sides, and never leave it unattended, I had two I used in an 18th century tent when I was into re-enacting, crack a window and have a gas monitor, not good for rough water I should think for the danger of broken glass as much as fire. |

Jim, I have seen that done, and yes it works, but for me, it was never not scary
I have used a candle lantern, converted to a candle furnace with some carefully selected tin cans of various sizes, to minimize the light and maximize the heat radiation for heating a snow cave, and for heating in a car or pickup in the back under a canopy. Maybe not smart, but back then I was 10 feet tall, bullet proof and invincible.
