[Rhodes22-list] Hammock

[Michael D. Weisner]

Rik,

"These are made so you lie somewhat off center ..."  Is that to the right or 
left of center?  I guess it depends on the political leaning of the person 
in the hammock.

I have a Hennessy that I use when camping, with the rainfly (just in case.) 
The real question is "Do you still need a pull string to set it rocking or 
will the boat do that automatically?"
