Granted, a proper, inboard diesel generator is mighty quite. A little splashing is about all one can hear and that's when there is no wind and wave action. The exhaust fumes, however, are the real problem. Why is it that those who run diesel generators always "treat" the entire downwind anchorage to their fumes? Why is it they can't be considerate of the safe breathing of those who are out there because they wish to breathe fresh air. Why can't they anchor DOWNWIND of everybody? Enquiring minds wish to know because the only answer I can ever come up with is it's because they are rude, inconsiderate, self-centered and couldn't care less what pollution they force other people to breathe. After all, the entire world is required to revolve around them and their desire to watch TV, run hair dryers, microwave ovens, air conditioning, etc. STAY THE **** HOME if you can't live without all that crap! -- Sir Gregory |
