Whats wrong with TV's onboard, I have 2 they have DVD players as well.
Ones a bulkhead mounted flat 42" TV in the forward bunk room and a 18"
in the guest cabin. Have a direct TV dish onboard as well. Have 3
computer displays, and a color radar display with GPS & chart overlay.
Soon I will have flir. I would really like to have a heads up display
helmet that will always read my course, speed, wind direction, and
relay flir image from the monitor, hooked up to the camera that will
follow my eyes.
Why wouldent Capt. Neal have a TV on board? Beside not being able to
afford one.
If I am recalling correctly, Neal did/does have a TV aboard. I seem
to remember on his website that there was some sort of built in
cabinetry that had it secure and out of the way.
Whats wrong with enjoying a flick at anchor or the dock, or underway
for that matter?
A good friend of mine who grew up sailing the Great Lakes during his
youth, tells the story of one of the Macinaw (sp?) race boats that
used some sort of projector to show porn on their mainsail Same
principle, I suppose
Perhaps if you lubbers spent a little more time aboard, It would not
seem "So Special" of a time. You would not have to SAVOR and relish it
like its something holy.
I like modern conviences and entertainment onboard my boat. And since
I live on my boat I also have a washer dryer, microwave, 4 burner
stove , oven, deep freeze, frig, stereo, blender, crock pot, toaster,
ect..... and most thing you will find in any home.
And none of it goes flying about when I sail.
