What Shall I Buy????
 

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.

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

Well we do a lot of night sailing, but it's quite local most of the time. Next
summer we will not be sailing locally hardly at all, so you may be
right...Night Vision it is!

Gen 1... Bwahahahahahahaaa... you might as well order the X-Ray Specs from
the back of a comic book!

Have you even, ever tried a comparison of this technology Bob?

BTW - they need batteries!

Yup. Gen one works fine. The set that I tested were actually older Gen 1s and
we were all shocked at how well they worked. Tried Gen 3s. Fantastic, but 1K or
more? No way!

What big spender? I'm poor! That's why I have a 25 year old boat!

If I were you I'd buy some of those wood plugs that you stick in leaking
places.


S/V Express 30 "Ringmaster"
Trains are a winter sport

I have a C&C, not an Express. How often do you need plugs on your boat?

RB

All boats with thruhulls should have wood plugs available.

But Loco seems to think the Express boats need them more?

70s designs do.

Wow, you mean Skitchy's IP is about to sink? Yikes! Does that also mean the
Westsail 32 will also sink? Golly!

Yup...loco knows his boats!

I would suggest that you buy a clue.

None on Ebay.

I would suggest a length of 5/8'' rope and the book ''Hot To Tie A Hangman's
Noose''.

Better make that 3/4''.

But totally appropriate for Bubbles. Could be like
one of those 'Hot For Phonics' kids books.
