Teddy in case it all gets too much.

I think there was an earlier post advising against bears on boats.

I'm still trying to work out why Serin got so shirty.

We use duvets and sheets and proper pillows etc in our own boat.

I sometimes take my military issued sleeping bag with me on other peoples boats but I've used it in the Arctic and it's a bit warm for more temperate climes.

It's got a burst free zip and if it's good enough for a Royal a Marine to escape from and to their fire position when suddenly attacked at night, I think Serin is over egging his anti sleeping bag story perhaps.

Three drowned in their sleeping bags would have made the news if it was in Europe and I get all the MAIB reports and I don't remember any incident. Perhaps he can point me in the right direction?

It's not so much the "three drowned in their sleeping bags", more the "three drowned solely because they were in their sleeping bags" which intrigues me. I find it difficult to imagine something happening to a boat in which ten seconds difference could matter, fatally, to three people. Which is not to say it didn't happen, just that I think we really need more details before we can decide if it's a significant risk,

No idea. I offered to hand in loads of stuff but they didn't want it.

Perhaps it's the equivalent of "you can keep the company car", since they don't have enough submarines to give them away.
