that poor little TV will be smashed to pieces.

Ummm...even on the average coastal cruiser, TV's are either put away safely or
well secured to a shelf. They can do stuff like this these days!

No apologies necessary, Boob isn't familiar with blue water sailing beyond
what he's read in magazines.Funny, considering he claims to be an expert AND
he sails within miles of the ocean.

Ah, aparantly you're not familiar with "Blue water sailing", which of
course isn't a surprise.

Sure...I've only read about it and those blue water sailors NEVER need a
screwdriver or soldering iron!


Again my appologies, I didn't realise you've problems reading. If you
study my original post carefully, you'll notice I'm talking about
power tools. FYI, there are screwdrivers you can use without
electricity. I don't think I want to know for what you want to use the
soldering iron...

Cheers!

I don't drink, Thom. Nor do I smoke. Sorry.


Wimp!

Most people drink. They can't help it. No willpower. Smokers are even weaker.
You follow their lead.
And that's a fact.

No, most people drink because they're part of society. You probably
don't drink because you can't handle lifting the glass to your face. How
long have you been using a straw?

Careful, bob has friends all over the world that own huge, luxury boats
carrying all the same crap he has on his boat.

News flash!!!! Red alert!

Cruising boats DO carry power tools. They also carry inverters and TVs

and even
books on tape.
The powered screwdriver can be found on most boats along with the

cordless
drill. 12V soldering irons are pretty standard, but the gas units can be

used
in a pinch.


You're confused, I guess... A dock caravan will contain these items,
even if it is an 1 million dollar "Blue water sailer", but they never
leave the dock. Why on Earth you need a TV on the middle of the ocean?
To watch your porn collection on DVD?

Did you ever had a knockdown? The interiour will be a mess after that,
and that poor little TV will be smashed to pieces. Let's face it,
you're a gadget freak, but a true sailor.....uhm, no...

You know NOTHING. Obviously. Still worse, your friends also know nothing.


A bold statement. You've a photo to prove this? g

Cheers!

Raffles Light is a 67 foot ketch currently crusing for 6 months with a few
friends of mine aboard. Not only does it carry power tools, but there is a
small workshop/bench near the generators to fix and fabricate parts. I'd

be
happy to send you a pic of this boat when she returns to my club in the

early
summer.

Put away safely?? Where? Same place as the chrome anchor I guess.

Nutsy,

Have you, in your ignorance, ever heard of an alcohol torch? Have you
ever even considered press on spade electrical connections?

Have you ever thought of simple hand tools like screw drivers, coping
saws, keyhole saws, Hand operated twist drills, rigging knifes. Dry
diver hull scrubbers
These are the tool sailors carry aboard

You're "BUSTED AGAIN!"

Damn few voyaging sailors carry TV's. They carry books. TV&VCR's are a
week-enders gimmick. Books are a trade item with other traders on long
distance cruisers

Once again; "YOU'RE BUSTED!"

Nutsy, Go for a couple of week long trips and discover how soon those
power tools and their charging units become a PITA. Even one is in the
way!

Again; "YOU"RE BUSTED!"

Ole Thom/ Signing off this very stupid troll
