Our stove has an electric option and we'll use that when plugged in at the slip or other marinas. What exactly do you mean by "when?" 24/7 |

What exactly do you mean by "when?" Scotty makes a good point. In our last summer with Alien, we visited 3 marinas on just one 3 day sail....Centreport, Norwalk and Port Jeff. So the electric cooker can make a lot of sense even for a local sailor. RB 35s5 NY |

Without exception, everyone I know and many of the boats I see have abandoned the less safe propane. CNG, phttttttt.... must you always jump on the bandwagon? Scotty |

Why not a big spool of wire so you can have hard wired land communication
too? If something medical goes wrong it's up to you to fix it immediately, waiting for help someone can die. Amen! "Capt. Rob" wrote in message oups.com... So, Jonathan, I'm carrying a spare fixed radio because I have it, and the same goes for the antennas...one is a little rail mount and the other is a rollup that goes right on the back of the radio. If they were taking up any kind of space or were in the way, I guess I'd leave them home. But we have more space than we know what to with. Maybe we'll lose our rig and the handheld will fail...I don't see a reason NOT to carry it any more than I see a reason not to carry a few extra life jackets and flares. Doesn't hurt...might help. In the world of Katy and Scotty this is crazy behavior. Fine by me! RB 35s5 NY |

What about enough orange dye to stain the entire LIS?
Flare guns powerful enough to escape earth's gravity! Bwaahahahaa!! "Capt. Rob" wrote in message oups.com... What?! No EPIRB? I have two Epirbs in my closet. One is new in the box, an ACR 406 that will probably go on ebay soon. RB 35s5 NY |

It's not just the radios, Robbie...it's the whole shebang...the
whole glut of existence you've jam packed on that boat... "Capt" Rob wrote: Katie, I think you're making things up. Of course she is. Just following your example. BTW why aren't you out sailing? DSK |

Sounds like Robbie has a medical condition that can go haywire at any
moment. Taking a kid out alone with RB's medical problems isn't exactly brilliant. Why is he putting his child at risk? Amen! |

Outside of a small 200 dollar flat screen DVD player from Costco, what do you imagine we're carrying? Our stereo is no larger (and probably lighter) than most. The speakers are smaller than most (but better quality). And there's just nothing else on board. No Playstations, no trainsets. We don't have radar installed or a color fishfinder or even a coffee machine. Do you have a stereo on board? You have this illusion that there's a home theatre on my boats, but do you look at the pics? All we had on Ghost and Alien were car based CD players and a portable TV with a 9 inch screen...pretty much what you'd find on most boats, Katy. As for Thomas....he got a lot of toys for Xmas and almost all are packedc away, opened slowly, one at a time over the weeks. And only a few toys are out at a time as well. His TV time is very limited...his music time is also limited. His social time is mostly unlimited. RB 35s5 NY Do not limit his music rime. He needs that to devlop mathematical ability...syudies show that kids exposed to good music (we're not speaking Metallica here) do much better in school.... |
