good book, some music [cd's], and a warm ocean breeze.

How do the portable little tv's work on a boat. The ones that have
the very small screen.


The little ones with the very small screen don't work any better on a
boat than at home. A reasonable sized small tv (12" or a little
bigger) works fine. We used to get one that was both 12V and 110,
like the one we got for our son who was a truck driver, so he could
watch TV while he was laid over waiting for someplace to open up so he
could pick up or deliver. We have a dual voltage TV/VCR in the aft
cabin that we use with the follow-me and the DirectTV receiver. For
the main saloon, we just have a regular small TV for use when we are
at the dock.

We don't anchor too much, and we don't watch much TV when we are
anchored - we get up with the sun and go to bed when it sets.

We use one of those little folding DVD Video players like they put in
cars. It's 12v with a battery of its own. It works a charm. When we
are sailing it gets put away in a drawer. I suppose a laptop would work
fine too. (But it is bigger)
