I wish I had Air Conditioning on the boat so I could work
on it when it is hot. Instead I have a 15" AC powered fan
in the center hatch which, at least, blows my sweat off.

What kind of seadog do you have? I want a pointer that
will it bark and point to land in the fog.

Dog and I were getting ready to go down to the boat, when checked the
temperature. At 9:00 am the outside thermometer showed 92 degrees F.

Put the Airconditioner on, unpacked the cooler and admitted to being NW
Weather whimps.

Bart,

I have a Rat Terrier, who is a rather lousy sailor.

"There's nothing to do on a boat that's sailing" she says. I've had a
Basset Hound( Great sailor) but she would rather be with me than stay
home. I have to tie her to the inside steering station, with just enough
line to get 2 feet of cockpit space. She went over the side after a
Barking Seal on the Harbor Entrance Buoy.

What a recovery job for a old single hand flying a Gennaker!!! But that
is another story.

What's stopping you from getting one? I would certainly have had one if they
were available in my day!

They have small units for $65~$80 at appliance stores. Problem as I see it,
many who have AC stay at the dock on hot days.

I got the ultra-quiet Honda genny (EU2000). It's light and quiet and has no
problem with a 13,500 btu AC unit. A bit on the pricey side but a nice
addition. We only use it when anchored and extremely hot/humid. We leave the
cabin open as the cool air tends to lay down below, unless the mosquitoes
are feeding. The AC is hardly noticeable tucked as far forward as can be
(5000 btu).

Where do you put the AC while it's running?

It never moves. It's pushed as far forward as it can go on my V-berth.

*In* the V-berth? Where does the water drain? Hot air escape?

Scout,
I want you tknow that this week I've been very envious of your set-up.

Thom,
AC ranks right up there with indoor plumbing and anti-biotics. No past king
or queen lived better than we in those regards.
I've spent most of my life in mechanical construction (steamfitter). It's
all about boiler rooms, city rooftops, and stifling mechanical rooms. In the
winter you freeze, in the summer, you sometimes work 'til you puke. On one
of those hot days I made a vow to myself to be cool and dry when I'm
relaxing. My next sailboat (it's gonna have to wait until I move next year)
will have a less obtrusive, factory designed unit. Until then this will have
to do. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
