How about a good quality sailing knife? Small hand-bearing compass?


I've got a great bearing compass, plus a cheap davis model that was
NIB on the boat.


I have one of those little Plastimo Iris 50 ones - very pocketable, and has
a neck cord. You hod it against your face and look through a little
magnifying window - very clear and stable.


As for knives...I have several, including one made
with a custom whale bone handle...made for me as a present from
antique bone.


I was meaning the type that has a shackle key and spike as well as the
blade.


I notice that the more expensive Silva Windwatch also has a barometer in it,
complete with a 16 hour memory which displays the readings as some sort of
graph or histogram - that could be interesting if one is into meteorology
while cruising. Have a look at...

Wally.... please! What the heck would Bob do with a marlin spike or a
shackle key?

That item would get less use than his radar or chromed anchor!

Oh, I dunno, he could hammer the marlin spike into the side of the boat and
loop a bit of wire through the shackle key - then he could hang the display
case for the ornamental whalebone one on it...

Tell me it not true. Blubber boy has a chromed anchor? Is it a
keychain or something?

Don't you love the way his radar is mounted?
