That's a good point, but my own recollections of what other ong distance
cruisers have said to me is: glass is NOT good in a knockdown situation, or
any breakage situation. Bad seas, wet floors, and glass slivers don't mix
well. I haven't read Annie Hill's book yet (it's on order), but I think I'd
rather replace my plastic now and then ... but I guess it's a personal
choice, and one you learn by trying out both ways. Thanks for the input! :-)
Best wishes
