What we are watching...

Patagoniadoes something cool, someone making sense, and not the sailors' candidate of choice...

We've been watching "Breaking Bad" aboard "So It Goes" and are now deep into the second season... If you have not seen it, all I can say is it is an awesome show. So far, it seems to be right up there with "Deadwood" and "The Wire" (not exactly the sort of praise I throw around lightly) and that is saying a lot.

I mention this as TV shows of the good sort on DVD are just so well suited to folks cruising... Great bang for the buck, a good length for watching onboard and, unlike movies, the aspect ratio is better suited to the sort of screens we use on boats... Truth is, while I love the 2.35 to 1 scope screen formats, they are really designed to be watched on a big screen in a theater and always lose something when brought down to "TV" formats.

Of course, if any reader has sorted out an IMAX diy home theater system for their boat, I'm all ears!
