If anyone is within a 4 - 5 mile range I should be ok. (assuming they

Amazing stuff. Got a good whistle on board that vessel, dummy?


Do you guys have a couple of those horns you pit a piece of cellophane
on to make the noise? Those suckers are the loudest thing I have seen
if you don't have air horns. They are louder than the freon can horn
and they are so low tech they will always work. I keep some plastic
wrap in the first aid kits anyway and that works great on these horns
if the one in there gets damaged.

Sure do!

Just the thing for signaling that you are having an asthma attack and
need help.


That could be tricky. I also have a couple of compressed air horns.
Both given to me... one from a former co-worker that uses the canned air and
Tom gave me one with the little airpump and soda type, liter sized bottle
