Page 68 • Latitude 38 • October, 2009 COURTESY ISLAND TIME LETTERS You have got to see this thing to believe it! We now do the Netflix thing, and watch movies nearly every night. Our 'boat theater' has blown away just about everyone who has visited us — it's really funny. From sports to movies to concerts, the viewing is just great. As I kept the little flat screen mounted on the starboard bulkhead for 'morning coffee' television, I had to buy a digital converter. But I found that I was able to hook a pair of cables from the back of the converter to the input at the rear of our Movietime, allowing us to project the digital broadcasts with the projector! Mike & Mary Kelley Island Time, Island Packet 40 Los Angeles Harbor Readers — Please, let's not have any smart ass remarks about Mary being a 'screen size queen'. What are the Kelleys' f a v o r i t e m o v i e s ? "Captain R o n i s probably our favorite, so it's what we u s u a l l y p u t o n 'Captain Ron', the secular patron saint of sailors, as seen on 'Island Time's big screen. when we d e m o n - strate the set-up to friends," says Mike. His other favorites are Black Hawk Down and Meat Loaf Live With the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Mary’s favorites are Sex in the City, True Blood and Metallica S&M. ⇑⇓DON'T BOTHER US, WE'RE BUSY BEING FRIENDLY As I was scanning the July Changes, the reference on page 135 to The Nature Conservancy jumped out at me — because I'm now working for that organization in Nevada. The caption on the photo spread that said TNC "kicked out" cruisers struck me as making us seem, well, unfriendly. But that's something that the TNC is definitely not. In fact, TNC is so successful at finding "solutions that benefit people and nature" because we are non-confrontational and we work with everyone to protect critical habitat for biodiversity. And as far as there being "all kinds of rules . . .", one of our biggest challenges is how to allow people to enjoy fragile habitats without unduly impacting them. In fact, I was impressed that the crew of Cocokai got to stay at Palmyra for four whole days! I guess that doesn’t seem very long to bluewater cruisers. To learn more about why Palmyra is so special, go to www. nature.org/wherewework/asiapacific/palmyra. There readers will learn that if TNC had not purchased the Palmyra Atoll in ‘00, it might be home to a nuclear waste dump or a casino by now. Anne Thomas Raven, CM1200 Gardnerville, Nevada Anne — We don't like to disagree with you, but if The Nature Conservancy came across as being "unfriendly" for kicking the Cocokai crew out after "four whole days," we think it's because The Nature Conservancy was unfriendly. If they owned the only
