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.


Would it be cheaper to park that boat in a trailer park?

Is that were you park your cheaply fitted and buildt Bent- a-toe?
At least most trailers have floorboards that fit properly.


You could prop it up on some nice red bricks!!

I know this is how you teach your kids to sail, but I rather have my
boat in the water.

I can see you now, your bentatoe on a foundation of bricks (just
propped up would puncture your flimsy hull) yelling at your boy in the
fog. Quick toss that potatoe and listen for the splash boy. Running
down below and taking physic bearings with no external imput at all.
Your a joke Lanod!

Don't get me started on a deep freezer. Ooops, I guess you did.

Since we bought out catamaran for long term cruising, my wife insisted on having
a large deep freeze. I admit it was nice to be able to reach in and pull out a
steak wherever we were,

And keep in mind many countries will not let you bring in any meat or
produce.

Whats better is to reach in the sea and fill your freezer. But Surf &
Turf is nice.


but its a pain being tied to a 90 Amp-hour per day draw.


Get a gen set. I can run 3 hours a day and keep the freezer frozen.

If I had to do one thing over, it would be to have two separate small systems
for the fridge and freezer, rather than one large one.

Thats our set up, A small frig w freezer comp and a 8 cubic foot
freezer. Only pain in the arse is it has a big hatch top on the galley
counter to access it. And with limited counter space it usually
involves shuffeling stuff to get to it.

There is nothing wrong with a TV on board. It all depends on what you
do with your boat. If I buy a Ferrari Enzo (yeah, right....in my
dreams only I fear) I don't have to suspect I can transport a piano
with it. If you're on a sailboat in the middle of the Atlantic with
winds over the 50 knots and a wave height over 30 feet, you're not
that happy with a TV on a bulkhead, or the change in weight
distribution all those electric equipment caused. But if you're moored
most of the time, or coastal cruising while you know how to interpret
the weather map, you want those things which makes life easier.

As long you don't carry those pesky powertools......g

Wow! You make it sound like thousands of pounds of gear! All of my
electronic
entertainment toys, TV/VCR, AM/FM, CD changer, a nice pair of small speakers
fit
in one box when I brought it ashore this fall. It is certainly lighter than
my
tools, or even the galley gear - perhaps 25 pounds total. Were I to set it
up
again it would be half the weight with flat screen and MP3's. Even the 300
CD's we had on board for our trip was nothing compared to the books we had.

I can understand not wanting a TV - I know people that never use one in their
house - but the weight savings is rather meaningless nowadays.

Hehe. I was actually more thinking about the washing
machine/deepfreezer and stuff...


Cheers!

My floorboards fit correctly.

Come on! Admit it ... you would find social interaction much easier in the
trailer park, wouldn't you? You would probably find that you could become
friends with the neighbours. You've already admitted that people in the
marina move their boats once they meet you( and your incompetent boat
handling skills). Wouldn't you be much happier living in a tolerant
community, where bashing into your neighbour's vehicle would be seen as
normal behaviour?

Tsk, tsk. They are *red* bricks. The colour is very important. In
future, think of your own neck when you use the word brick. That way, you
won't forget the colour, will you?

You don't read well, do you? Ah well, they say that "opposites attract",
don't they?

Thanks!


BTW, you are an absolute menace. You are a self-confessed, dangerous,
breaker of the CollRegs. Furthermore, you are too stupid to understand
simple words like "sight" and "hearing".

NO they do not, And your thin hull flexes to much.

Social interaction anywere is not a problem ****** boy. Anytime you
make it to Houston come by and sail a spell.

Lanod, My marina has a ship yard and most boat are just passing
thru.
I know you physic yachtmasters can control a linkage failure with your
mystic skills, but us poor Texans we just have to learn from our
mistakes.


Wouldn't you be much happier living in a tolerant
community, where bashing into your neighbour's vehicle would be seen as

No I have never had a desire to move to England or Mexico.

Yes, but you lack the skill to use it properly and effectly.

You would think it is safer and wiser to stare into dense fog. You
will never have the guts, grit, or skill to become a United States
Merchant Marine Master.
You would be laughed off a boat while you were a OS. You would never
advance to an AB. You just do not have it in you Donal. Dont feel bad,
some just are not cut out to lead.

Your a coward and a liar. Your lower than whale ****.

Sounds kind of Slanderious Donal. Perhaps I should show this to my
lawyers and prove once and for all who is correct.


For over a month now you have shown that you are a book sailor. Your
acting like a stupid LTJG just out of boot camp. You think the book is
everything because that is all you have ever done. You have never made
a mistake, because you have never had the chance. Your a mouse of a
man and a chapmans sailor on a production boat at the best.

Oh, Joe! Thank you. That's the biggest compliment that I've ever
received.

I've always wanted to be able to look down my nose at people. However,
I've never found anyone who was low enough. So, when you called me
"pompus", I knew that I had found sombody who was truly beneath me.


Thank you, Joe!
