Hi Robert, when I read the title of your post I was thinking you were having gastrointestinal issues:

I was ready to give you the following advice:

1. Don't go below decks
2. Don't go on the fore decks when going to windward unless you are single handing.
3. Consider using beano next time iyou cook those red beans and rice.

Glad to hear it was just your dinghy and not you with bad gas.

Cheers,

Your Friend,

Tony
