Well! I DID have my stash on a sailboat we lived aboard for 2 years and turned out some fine quilts. However, we never found an iceburg to "HIT" in Georgia Straight, WA. The cell phone was more of an issue than fabric or sewing machine because it always went ashore with us!. (don't ask how many phones found their way into salt water!?) My DH can swim better than I can so I think he'd have to save ME! LOL ! (and he'd BETTER!!!)
