[PUP] How much TV do you watch while cruising?

[Milt Baker]

Scott,

Based on my own experience living aboard and cruising for the past year
and cruising about six months a year for the previous fives years or so, 
I'd say that how much TV one watches aboard is proportional to how much 
one watches ashore--but then add some.   As something of a news junkie, 
I have access to a couple of newspapers every day at home, something 
that's not a given when cruising.  As a result, I seem to watch more news 
while cruising than at home.  You're right: having TV weather is also good; 
in terms of being helpful for what's happening where you are, the local 
weather is often better than the Weather Channel.  Local news is also helpful.

A satellite TV receiver is a wonderful thing, giving you coverage no matter 
where you are.   We would not want to be without ours.  I remember how 
much we LOVED having it on 9/11.
