Be careful you don't accidentally sit on a transducer!

Put away safely?? Where?

Gayanzy has a Cal 20, so this discusion, like most about sailing or
cruising,
is a mystery to him.
Our TV/DVD fits perfectly and snug under the forward V. It also lives
well
aft
in the quarter berth as well.

This from Gayanzy, whose boat is so small and spartan that he has to worry
about
placement of a transducer so he doesn't step on it by accident!

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

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!

He's right on that point Ganz.... I'm addicted to nicotine. I know that. I
quit once for 6 years and started again then quit again....after an 8 year
absence I started again 3 years ago. It's a pain in the ass.... but it
doesn't alter the fact that I'm still in better physical condition than Bob
even smoking. Without smoking I would be even better.

While this will no doubt start a war (which I'll win again!), I thought it
would be interesting to discuss the best power tools aboard and kept in
the
dockbox....

MUST be kept Aboard....
Makita drill...bullet proof
AC Skil dril....Best for bigger jobs
RotoZip kit....rarely used, but great when it's needed!
Weller soldering iron
B&D Cordless powerdriver with flex head...used all the time and a cheap
disposable item.

snip

Anything else I need can usually be borrowed from the yard's shop.


Your boat must be in really crap condition, if you neet to have all those
tools aboard.

Is it a very old boat, of does it suffer from a severe lack of maintenance?

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.

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.


Hehe, 67 feet.. why don't you mention the Queen Mary 2? They even have
multiple cinema's!


Cheers!

Haha. A serious knockdown even cab crack the main structure of a ship,
but I'm glad the TV is secured safely....

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.


Hehe, thanks.

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


Wimp!

Most people drink. They can't help it. No willpower.

What a twit!

Why would they want to "help it"?

I *enjoy* a drink. Are you really stupid enough to deprive yourself of
pleasure just so you can demonstrate your "superior" will-power?


You are a victim. Yes, indeed! You are a victim of the small minded,
politically correct, ignorant, poverty stricken whiners that constantly seek
to prove that any form of pleasure is bad for you.

You are too insecure in your own beliefs to do what *you* want to do.
Therefore, you slavishly read the latest opinion polls in an effort to
formulate your own thoughts.

A real man would for his own opinions.
A real man would not need to say things like "well regarded" to defend his
standing.
A real man would drink if he wanted to.
A real man would smoke if he wanted to.


You are a complete wimp.


You are an utter disgrace to the male of the species.




Smokers are even weaker.

Smoking a cigarette would probably kill you.

You follow their lead.

You are a complete wimp! By your own admission, you are afraid to drink,
you are afraid to smoke, and you are afraid to sail out of sight of land.



And that's a fact.


Well, there you go! Eh?


Regards

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.

Yeah, but that requires muscle power, and Blobby has none.
