You retracted your statement. No, you said, they don't use a TV, they
use a laptop, because a laptop IS a TV. Still no explanation WHY a
blue water sailor needs a TV.

NEVER did I retract my statement.

Yes, you did. First you claimed they carry a TV, then you said they
use a laptop, since, according to you, a laptop IS a TV.

Plenty of blue water boats carry TVs and
modern flat screens make it simple.

I never doubted that, although you claimed I did. You never proved
that claim. Liar.

Reasons? TO WATCH TV, movies.

As others pointed out, there is no time watching movies during a long
cross. Granted, if you're in an harbour for a long time you _might_
occasionaly want to watch TV. However, a salty environment does damage
electronical equipment, even a TV. (which is a laptop, according to
you). Then there's the problem of possible damage in heavy weather,
and it will use valuable space you need for really important things.
This is my opinion about carrying a TV, not a claim that blue water
sailors never carry one. (read this 10 times, please)

The other thing Bob**** isn't aware of is that, since the world doesn't
run NTSC TV, TV is effectively useless outside the USA unless you have
a PAL set. Then again you'd expect that level of ignorance from Blobby,
because he never sails anywhere and knows nothing about anything
technical. Motorised router bits indeed!
