with me.

You can't get away from stuff. You exchange one set of chores (lawn
mowing), for a set of boat chores (dishes washed by hand, putting up
an anchor light).

Thsi reminds me of some neighbors of mine that bought a $160,000.00
motor home that had about everything I can think that you can put on
two wheels., Why did they buy it? Their answer is obvious. So they
could go ..."Camping" !

Friends of ours have one of those, but that is their home. They don't
have a house. They are full time RVers - they live in their RV - and
that's what those kinds of RVs are made for. Living in different
parts of the country without having to unpack.

We live on our boat full time for sometimes six months. We aren't
camping. We are living in various harbors and marinas without having
to fly there and pack and unpack. So we aren't 'getting away from
stuff'. And we like to watch TV.

If you want a TV then get one. I'm not going to stop you. But there's
no need to expect me to have one.

I don't have any expectations for you. You can obviously do what you
want. And in return, I expect you to allow us to use our boat in the
way that suits us without looking down your nose at us and implying
that your way is the only REAL way to enjoy a boat..
