Sorry, Katy. You and Scotty simply sound foolish carrying on about an
extra radio and two antennas....as if that's a LOT of gear. My 35s5 has
a fairly modest electronics pack...tridata, ST400 AP, the stuff you
find on most boats. I have no microwave and the propane oven is
shutdown for good, until I decide it's worth coverting to CNG. I'm
adding a GPS. I probably won't install the Raytheon radar this season,
which was given to me. Oh...and I have a fireboy system for the engine
and a CM detector...I guess those are also not worth carrying, right
Katy?

It's not just the radios, Robbie...it's the whole shebang...the
whole glut of existence you've jam packed on that boat...emphasizing
your materialism and then you turn around and claim it's for your
kid...well, we know different...using Thomas as an excuse for your
proclivity for accumulating acres of "stuff" in lieu of sailing is a
shallow attempt...you had this behavior well before Thomas...stop
using him as your excuse...he's too cute and should respect his
father for being well-grounded rather than so flighty...

Katie, I think you're making things up. 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.

Of course she is. Just following your example.

BTW why aren't you out sailing?

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....
