Now I am even more confused (if that is possible)!  The box hanging down 
inside my QB is the starboard cockpit seat.....  There is another access 
up there that gives access to the big winch and also must be a secret 
place to hide things....
And yes Steve!  I have been at the chart table in the middle of the 
night too tired to really be thinking straight, but knowing I am 
probably someplace that I shouldn't be....  WITH MY KNEES KNOCKING!

Best,
