Being in Southern California we freeze Orange Juice and take it out as
needed for the 3 week trip.  WE also freeze filtered water from the home
filter thus saving on bottled water.

Jeff,

I had the exact same experience with the same setup you did. The insulator
pad,
two blocks of ice and a heat wave--14 days and there were still remnants
of
ice.
The rocking noise hit me at anchor at about 2 in the morning and I spent
about
90 minutes trying to figure out what it was, had no luck and a day later
while
steering on an all day sail the light bulb went off! I'm going to have to
figure
out how to secure the blocks next time so they don't pound a hole in my
reefer....does anyone have suggestion??

Regards,

Jon Vez
