Subject: AC in the Bahamas
From: "Doug Dotson"

From what I understand, FL folks used to go to the Bahamas
during the summer to avoid the heat.

Maybe before the advent private A/C.

True enough.

Personally, I see using an AC
via a genset in an anchorage as bad manners.

If the gensets quite what's the big deal?

Quite what?

Around here I rarely
see sailboats even in the hottest part of the summer be rude enough
to run a genset all night in an anchorage. Sadly enough, it does appear
to be a frequent occurrance on the powerboats.

Yes, and sadly slapping halyards at night seems to be a frequent
occurrence on
sailboats.
So I guess turn abouts fair play. :-)

I guess they run AC to drown out the halyard slap Most boats at anchor
secure their halyards because they are even more annoying aboard the
offending
boat. Hard to sleep with a halyard banging around. Most slapping halyards
can be found on unattended boats in some marinas.
