If you do a lot of night sailing, get the night vision. But for daytime navigating, get the Canon
10x30IS.

Well, I already have $280 worth of gift certificates for WestMarine/BoatUS...my
birthday is nearly here!
So here are some items I'm thinking about...Which would you buy?

Night Owl Night Vision....this is a Gen 1 and rather cheap, but it works pretty
well and is waterproof.
Canon Stabilized Binocs: 10x30's seem a bit low on light collecting. Would
these compliment my new Fuji 7X50's?
New Sailing jacket...May wait for the AC boat show to do this.
