Travelling with dry ice on a boat or camping is safe in my opinion. You are talking about very small amounts of C02. The differences between a boat and a mine which has no ventillation, and a lake releasing 100 million cubic meters of gas are too far off base to even discuss.

Captains - if you do not feel safe carrying dry ice, fine. It is your boat. Do what you want and what makes you feel comfortable. But I have done it, I have done it with my kids, my parents have done it, and all kinds of other people have done it. I feel it is safe and pay no more attention to it than I would someone relasing methane in the head (hopefully).
