The Cruisers "Nice to Have" Onboard (Luxuries?) List

[David_Old_Jersey]

As an addendum to Newts thread http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/...ist-79858.html I thought a list of the things that you have onboard to make life (for you) easier / more pleasant / more fun! - whether or not others consider them "Essential" (or simply not very boaty ).

Am thinking of stuff like:-

Bicycles
Motorbike?!
Coffee perculator
Washing Machine
Real drinking glasses

But can be anything - this is not a budgeteer specific thread. All welcome .

If this thread runs a bit I will distill the info onto a webpage / Excel Spreadsheet here Cruising - Equipment List for future reference (and to give folks ideas on what else they "need" ).

Am not intending to exclude anything simply because only one person has an item onboard. A ballpark on the cost involved (buy / install?) would be useful.

Ok, DOJ, I appreciate the lack of a budget. Thanks very much!
That really lets loose the creativity, but I will try not to let it go to my head.
