For Christmas give yourselves (both you and your wife) a trip to
Philadelphia for a couple days to attend Strictly Sail.
On Jan 20 there is a full day seminar "Safety at Sea".
Use this as a platform for equipment selection and "warm fuzzies" on the
subject.
It is a great show, lots to enjoy about it for sailors...
