Flying TVs at Sea!!!!
It's been suggested by a few idiots that a TV had now place on a modern crusing
boat. Now I'm no long range cruiser, but facts are facts! Space: Have you guys ever heard of "flat screen TV?" Uses little power and takes up even less space. Safety: A properly mounted TV won't fly around in bad weather or a knockdown. Power: Many long distance cruisers now carry nice laptops in addition to the standard charts. These laptops can treat the cruiser to a movie now and again with almost no power penalty. The fact is that TV has become a no-brainer for easy entertainment on many a cruising boat, espcially in recent years with flat panel displays. Anyone who says otherwise is living in the past and hasn't read websites showing today's cruisers and what they carry. Books, music? Of course! But a TV can be a great treat for those aboard and doesn't need to stay home anymore. Wake up and smell the 80's, kids. They've ended...long ago! Bwahahahahaha! RB |

I don't even have my TV at home hooked up.

It will not detach from the platform it's mounted to, agreed. Too bad
the platform itself will be flying through the cabin. If the bulkhead detaches, the TV is not something you'll be worried about, braniac! Bwahahahaha! RB |

Power: Many long distance cruisers now carry nice laptops in addition to the
standard charts. These laptops can treat the cruiser to a movie now and again with almost no power penalty. A laptop is no TV. Yes, really. It's not? Laptops can play movies just fine, thank you. Television: 1 : an electronic system of transmitting transient images of fixed or moving objects together with sound over a wire or through space by apparatus that converts light and sound into electrical waves and reconverts them into visible light rays and audible sound Sounds like the Laptop and flat panel qualify! You're wrong again! RB |

Yup. However, the ocean is still the same...
Even on this you're wrong. Amazing! RB |

With your logic a laptop is also a plane, ship and locomotive... Who's logic? The laptop is also a TV. Period. RB |

for you to answer in a single post? Using individual posting method does far more damage. Don't mess with what works! RB |

I didn't bother because I think the ideal use is to carry a small library of movies on DVD, which takes up next to no room. Do you actually watch broadcast TV on the Cat, Jeff? RB |
Flying TVs at Sea!!!!
Agreed. Beside a troll, wannabe sailor, you're also self destructive.
How so? Much as Mooron enjoys drinking, I enjoy this...and I'm not hurting myself in the process. However, you are wasting time and energy for my amusement. It's a good deal. RB |

Sure, what's wrong with broadcast? Remember, we usually go out for 2 or 3 weeks at a time; we spend more than half of the summer living on board. New England has the best TV weather reports in the country, and that alone makes it worth having. Plus, the odd news or sports event, etc - there's nothing wrong with staying in touch. Actually, the TV/VCR probably got more use for movies, but we now have a little DVD player that will replace that. It very common for 9 to 5ers to think that boating requires "vacating" the normal routine. When you're retired, its just living aboard part of the time. And besides, giving up the internet is a lot harder fro me than giving up TV. -jeff |

Okie dokie, let's carry this one step further, the next time you put one of those not yet released to the public DVDs that you claim to get in your DVD player at home and watch the contents on that large screen TV in your little room, refer to that process as "Watching TV", non of this pretentious "screening a film" hog swill!

Could never figure that out, to the casual observer about 99% of the Boob's
post appear to have emanated from someone of A. Extremely low intelligence or B. A gifted 6 year old. I think Boob must adhere to the old adage, "if you throw enough **** on the wall some of it will stick" A third alternative: http://my.webmd.com/content/article/71/81306.htm I've looked this up before, haven't noticed any links to NIMH or any "serious" medical sites, I'm guessing that it would be due to the fact that it's not considered a debilitating disorder, and their aren't any pharmacological treatments for it as far as I know, though I've only done a cursory examination.

I guess it's a matter of degree. I would think that a paranoid schizophrenic
would be debilitated, at least somewhat. They would require medication and supervision to lead a "normal" life, NPD doesn't require medication, but it might be harder to treat, I will concede that point. And I would also concede that it would be difficult to deal with, but probably equally difficult for individuals in close contact with the person having the disorder.

That's correct Bob... long range cruising sailboats don't generally carry a friggin TV. I've been on enough of them to ascertain that! Coastal sailors do carry TV's. I doubt you would see a TV on a boat that wasn't big enough to carry an electric dishwasher as well. I use my laptop to "screen" DVD movies for the kids so we adults can enjoy an evening of drinking in peace. Walking with Dinosaurs is a big favourite with the young folk. CM |

Hell, Jon, if Boob had done ANY long distance blue water sailing he would
realize two very important facts. 1. When you're underway, there is very little extra time for leisure activities like watching movies. Think of how much time is available on a typical off-watch. 2. When you arrive at your destination, there are usually more interesting or important things to do than sit around watching movies. I think Boob has some strange ideas about what life at SEA is about, these ideas have been reinforced by the crap he's seen at boat shows. About the only statement he made that had any basis in reality was: "Now I'm no long range cruiser" I would add, he's no short distance cruiser either.
