andsome Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Surely it would be a nice change on holiday to get away from every day things. This is why I don't rush off to find an internet cafe when on holiday. I prefer to explore the place that I am visiting and see what it has to offer. It's a wonder there aren't more accidents with people walking round with ear phones on oblivious to what is going on around them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 What a nightmare.... having a boat without a CD player :0 If you get a carzi FM transmitter/modulator you will be able to plug it in the toilet as well :lol: :lol:Then you really will be flushed with success, and also be able to listen at your own convenience.

deuces wild Posted March 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Besides those times I also plan to use it in our cars and on the boat via the FM radio using an FM transmitter/modulator. I will have over 1,400 songs at my disposal in a unit the size of a cigarette pack (half the thickness though) instead of having to lug around my CD cases. I will also not have to buy a new stereo for the boat as I would have had to for CD listening as the stereo does not have a CD player.What a nightmare.... having a boat without a CD player :0 ;) You betcha!

dadyassa Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 When I am on my boat, a real boat a yacht, I like to hear the bow cutting through the water and the wind in the sails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deuces wild Posted March 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 A sailboat can never be considered a yacht.But glad to hear that you have a" real" boat. The toy ones are not too fun. :lol: We take our "real" boat out to the beaches and swim or just relax in the water. I love to listen to music during that time. But I really don't have to explain my reason for wanting to have music on my boat to you....now do I? :rolleyes: What size is your "real" boat?Ours is a 21 foot runabout. We sold our 32 footer a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deuces wild Posted March 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Oh yeh, whats a yacht then ?Yeah. :lol: A yacht is a powered luxury vessel generally over 60 feet in length.I may be mistaken about sailboats never considered as yachts though.Is your sailboat 60 feet long?

dadyassa Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Only half that, so half a yacht then :P This is on the yacht clubhouse wall..... YACHT : Derived originally from a German word for 'hunting ship' - jachtschiff, the term entered the Dutch language in the 17th Century as jaght and then English as yacht. It is now generally used for small sailing ships used for racing and pleasure.Maybe I should add. It then entered the American langauge, but now has to be over 60 feet (whatever they are) long. :lol: :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deuces wild Posted March 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 I guess we have a different definition of yachts here in North America.My 32 footer was never considered a yacht. :D Edit: I think it is time to lock the thread. Thanks for all the feedback folks.Can a mod or admin lock this please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
