My Rant - you don't need air conditioners on boats
 
You don't need them unless you're the typical fat sweat hog one
sees these days cruising around in their floating condos. Eating,
sweating, complaining how they can't sleep (is it any wonder they
can't breathe when horizontal - too much fat on their necks and in
their throats that stops up the breathing passages.) It's sickening
these people who put the highest priority on eating and the lowest
on staying thin and fit which always staves off the many overweight
caused problems such as sleep apnea, snoring so loud it wakes up
the dead, acid reflux because their stomachs are too crammed full
of fatty foods to contain the acid and the overload of food, heart
disease, clogged arteries, low lung capacity, joints that hurt
because of the huge amount of weight they have to deal with,
diabetes because they're so fat and full of sugar and on and on and
on. Oh, poor things, they're hot when it's 80 degrees outside. Is
it any wonder they're hot? Big fat disgusting people with so much
insulation they could swim in the Antarctic and still sweat like a
pig. They look like walruses. And, they don't see it. They ignore
the root cause of all their infirmities.

You people who run generators so you can run air conditioners on
boats need to go somewhere and lay your fat carcasses down and die.
Rid the world of your ugliness and nuisance, why don't you? You
disgust me beyond belief.

You don't seem to understand the problem.

You see, in the evening they can't think of anything to do but watch
TV. So they turn on the generator. It's noisy, so they button
everything up. Now there's no breeze, and its hot, so they turn on
the AC.

Can you really blame them?

We have an air conditioner for our boat. In 15 years in San Diego,
never used or needed it. When the boat was in Lake Pleasant, outside of
Phoenix, with temps of 115°F+ (that's *outside* temp) and 50% humidity,
absolutely. Spend a summer there without AC - you'll be whining like a
toddler with a skinned knee...

If you had added the phrase "in temperate climates" to your subject I
would agree but you didn't so I have to think that you meant in any
climate so you are just plain wrong.

If you were hanging out here in 40 degree heat, no wind, humidity well
over 50% you would sing a different song. In those conditions you
don;t have to be fat to be miserable.

I was thinking the same thing but I don't think so. Hall uses
contractions a lot for one thing. Wilbur doesn't use contractions
much. But both of them sure hate generators. Well, I do too so
maybe I'm Wilbur or Hall myself?

Seems to me if you have a boat and plenty of time, you need to move it
somehwere more temperate. Average summer temperatures in Scotland, my own
stomping-ground, is around 20° C. and the cruising grounds are among the
best in the world. Today it's 11° C and foggy, so some practise on that
electronic chart system you've never really used in anger would be
obligatory.

Spitzbergen is also nice in the summer.

Right. This tells me that B.K. is probably one of those huge fat
slobs you see almost everywhere these days. You know, 6'4 or so and
well over three-hundred pounds. They limp around because their
stick legs can't carry the bloated body. They go from chair to
chair where most of their lives are spent. They stink. They can't
even reach the crack of their ass to wipe it properly after having
dumped about a four pound load.

If you've ever been in a large boat with a big pair of diesels under
the cabin, you'd know that once those engines heat up, so does the
cabin if you shut the AC down. It'e even woorse when you shut the
engines down, you can easily have several tons of iron down in the
bilge that was running at around 200 F before you shut them down. Now
you've got nice hot exhaust manifolds and turbo chargers giving off
all kinds of heat. It's very common for engine rooms to hit 140 F
after shut down. In cold weather, it's great, but warm it up a bit,
and A/C is not an option. A sail boat is a whole differant story, the
boat sits low in the water, stays cool, and the engine's are, well,
little. Not much heat given off from them.

My Rant - you don't need air conditioners on boats
 
Well, my engine room get's d**n hot while under power. I run an exhaust
fan, but it get's HOT.

To be honest though, we've never run the air conditioning, except at the
dock. We open the whole boat up and let the breeze blow through. Underway,
no worries, even in the summer time. Anchored in a sheltered space can be
nasty in the summer time. One night anchored at the Little Shark River in
July (Florida Everglades) wasn't alot of fun. Bugs you could see and other
you couldn't (no-see-ums) drove you crazy, shut the place up and steamed.
Was an early start to sea with breakfast underway in the morning. :-).

One of my friends has sleep apnea and requires the breathing "thing" (if
you think a Genset keeps you awake, try sleeping in the same room as THAT
thing...)

But I kinda agree with your rant. MY comment is: if they don't like the
climate (or in particular, if the climate is bad for their health) ...
MOVE!!!! I hear the US is a "free" country - if you don't like the climate
where you are, move to someplace that you're better suited for. Trying to
change the climate to suit your needs is just stupid.
