I had an old merc with the unregulated charging system. It will fry an
automotive battery. You need an old style marine battery to hold that voltage
down or get the new style regulator/rectifier. Light bulbs take a beating at
16v and I actually melted my running light lenses.

Nonsence my good man.... Anyone with a CD player can tell you that
Aerosmith, Sabbath, or Zepplin played **loud enough** can keep that pesky
voltage down just fine.

The Boston Symphony playing Richard Rogers - "Song of the high seas" is more
appropriate for boating. That is particularly true in the Chesapeake when its
blowing out of the south. (as I recall)

Yesterday I was in the local WalMart looking at maybe replacing my
Playstation 2 with an Xbox and wanted to scope out the games. As I
was passing by the music end cap and the Stones "Paint it Black" was
playing. The guy standing there, looked to be about my age, turned to
me and said "Every time I hear that song, I get the chills". I said
"Me Too". He says "I Corps?" - yep and it went on to swap unit and
service time in 'Nam.

When I saw this post, I thought it was a great chance to discuss
"Theme songs of your life".

For instance, when Harrison Ford rescued those stranded climbers a few
years ago in his helicopter, do you think the Indiana Jones Theme was
running through his head?

If I had to pick music for my boating activities, I'd have to pick the
"Victory at Sea" theme from the '50s documentary TV show.

Richard Rogers - "Song of the high seas"

That is the one we remember but there is a whole suite.

Roger Whittaker - "The Last Farewell"
