CO
2 is toxic in higher concentrations: 1% (10,000 ppm) will make some people feel drowsy, and concentrations of 7% to 10% cause dizziness, headache, visual and hearing dysfunction, and unconsciousness within a few minutes to an hour. Depending on how large your cabin is, how well ventilated it is and what the conditions you're using the Dry Ice under are, it may or may not be a problem. Drafty, well-ventilated cabins are at lower risk...but in bad weather, with the cabin well sealed against wind/rain, you could run into some serious problems.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
