Your voice right next to the audio pick up, was nearly cancelled by the generator, 10 feet away. Just sayin....
But I'm with you, I think you need this generator for the way you sail-cruise. And you've already said you wouldn't run it at the crack of dawn in a pristine anchorage with other boats nearby, that's just not your style.
I think it's not the generators that are the problem, it's just some generator users(either in denial or just don't care), that spoil it for those of us who truly enjoy the natural surroundings in many anchorages.
