What's the tally? Sounds like Steve B did alright with his gift certificate,
how about the rest of you boaters?
I got new socks that I can wear on the boat....

Got a new sheepskin pad for the motorcycle, so I'll be comfortable if
I decide to ride the bike to the boat. Oh, and a new pocketknife
that'll work for almost anything on the boat.

Glad to hear about your socks!

Got a pack of 2 LED flashlights. One red, one blue.
That way you can them apart.
They use 3 AAA batteries, nestled sideways in a plastic harness
inside.
Bright, but LED light looks a bit strange.
Nice size, about 4 inches long, a little over an inch wide.
Lanyard equipped, a rubber push button on top for on/off.
Looking forward to using them.
Hoping for a power failure in fact.

LED is weird light. I have a couple of head lamps for fishing that have
9 separate bulbs, that one is bright enough to see your line at night.
For camping, I have a crank type LED with 8 bulbs, I love it. Aside from
the whirring noise bothering some campers here and there, it never needs
batteries, used it all season and never had to worry about it.
