What do you people do for music on board? Waterproof radios? Solar crankable radios? I was thinking about getting a solar crank type and keeping it in 1 of the storage holes near the seats. I don't know how that would sound being muffled, but it's the best solution I can think of since it's not water proof. |

Yes, I expected to see that answer, but after many hours of solitude, I would like some music. This would be for music for 2 as well, on a tandem island, so personal devices with headphones would be out. |

I neglected to say that the passenger would be a female, but you figured it out! |

If she's old enough to read, your going to get an earful!  Have seen many threads on this subject. And gone through many radios myself.  The sensible solution seems to be a cheap shower radio with a good speaker. Must be kept in a plastic bag. (Sony ICF-S79W is compact and has a weatherband)  If you can find a model with an AUX input for a throwaway MP3 player, that's even better. |

Is the plastic bag for salt water? It's a shower radio. Are they not waterproof? |

Splashproof - with freshwater only is about the best you can expect. Oh - and remember that fishies can hear music through the hull. Do you want to sneak up on them? Oh, oh - and sometime when it's really blowing out there, turn up "The Flight of the Valkyries". She'll dig that. |

If I were fishing, I wouldn't want a radio on, but I probly won't be. I would just like to have some music while I am sailing. |

I got a waterproof headphone and waterproof bag that holds my ipod. the bag has a male connection on the inside of the bag (goes in to the ipod), and a female on the outside (connects to the headphones). Ipod is always safe. I love to get out wind in my hair (well I am bald  ) and music in my ears

I thought about doing that with my Samsung Infuse, but at $600 replacement, I'm not taking any chances with it. Instead, I just bought this:  Water resistant up to JIS7 standard! |

I like that radio above! Might need to get one for Tiki Tack! BTW I had to look it up ..."(JIS7 – Japanese Industrial Standards - submersible to 3.28 feet [1 meter] for up to 30 minutes)"... |

It does look nice, and it would be awesome to have my thousands of songs and other music services available, but I just wouldn't feel comfortable having a $600 fone (Samsung Infuse) in a little container out on the water. |
