dropping sail and curling up
 

Sure you can, but you never mentioned it. Am I to blame for this?
Just wondering....

Scouty, you didn't say you were using it in a classroom. You said you
were
using it on your boat at anchor.

Free is good too Ganzy, but I also wanted to use some of these in my
classes, and nothing spells trouble in a public school like reprinted
materials with no proof of purchase.
I do have a huge collection of MP3's; some downloaded, some I made.
Two
summers ago I purchased a Creative Sound Lab External Ripper/Burner
and
converted my personal music collection (about 300 or so CD's) into
high
quality MP3s; I plug my laptop into my boat's sound system and then
enjoy
listening to Antonio V. while slicing across the bay. God I love
technology
(in spite of what Mr. Einstein said about it).

How about for free... get newsrover at newsrover.com. It's free,
then
you can download mp3s from the web for free, and burn them to a CD.
I have the complete Nightfall series (16 CDs) by Asimov for example.
You can find a bunch of music as well.

After dropping sail and anchoring for the night, I love to spend
my
time
reading. Books are heavy though and take up valuable space - but
now
I
can
take my library to sea with me! I just loaded more than 2000
classic
books
on CD, which I purchased at www.4literature.net for about $20.
What
a
bargain!

I've heard most cruisers watch TV.

TV on a cruising boat is a waste of time....seems to be the antithesis =
of what sailing's all about....

What a narrow view, to eliminate any art form from the sailing experience. I
have a friend who draws and paints aboard her boat. No doubt Katy wouldn't like
that either or perhaps she's a snob with little background in cinema.
Alien's on board DVD library:

The Cain Mutiny, Jaws, A Night to Remember, The Sea Wolf, Moby Dick, Down to
the Sea in Ships, The Fog, Captain Ron, Casablanca, To Have and Have Not, Dead
Calm, Them, Wind, Perfect Storm, The Ghost and Mrs Muir and 20 more rotated
through.

On a rainy night, a classic flick is great fun aboard!

How about Nathaniel's Nutmeg? One of the best I've read in the past It
even told me what Manhatten means...

I'm sure there are a few boorish, low brow types who do watch TV at anchor.

Well if you have kids(who can definitely be lowbrow) TV at anchor can be a
godsend.

Yes, I do. They are both very much smarter than their father.

Speaking of Manhatten, if you've read Herman Melville's "Bartleby The
Scribner - A Story of Wall Street" - how odd is it to think that he could
have easily been staring at the site of the future twin towers? Is Melville
a real Nostradamus?
