Subject: AC in the Bahamas
From: "Doug Dotson"

Mine isn't all that loud either from aboard my own boat. That "chuff
chuff"
and "splash" sound is quite annoying when one is trying to sleep.

The above is what I said.

My personal philosophy is that if you need air conditioning at night,
you're spending the summer too far south.

Or you are a wimp. A good fan generally does the trick.

The above here are not my words. Are your trying to fabricate a
conflict?

OK, so you're a wimp if you can't sleep on a hot night without A/C.
Got it.

Perhaps. But certainly a poor generalization. I have no problem with
AC for sleeping. It's running a loud and annoying genset in a quiet
anchorage all night that is the issue.

Now what do you call someone who can't sleep on a boat with the sound of
water
splashing in the distance?

Not the splashing of water that is the annoying part. It's the exhaust noise
from the genset. And also the exhaust fumes wafting through the cabin.
