Anybody?
I got a brass bell, the small one (4''?) that's for decorative
purpose.

We got a really bad lighthouse clock with a horrible music box in it that
plays "Fur Elise"....obviously not from a nautical person...was thinking of
sending it to Neal but the electric blue case would clash with his mauve
interior...

Suzanne got a nice pair of boat shoes and some foul weather gear that she
doesn't need. I got yet another pair of Fujinon binocs, which I'll have to
return and about 600 dollars in BoatUS gift cards. Thomas got a lot of toy
boats, which are probably a lot nicer than Scotty Potti's! That was it for the
"nautical" stuff.

You mean, stuff to go on the boat? A windlass. Now I get to install it.

Or do you mean boat-y looking stuff to lay around the house? We already
have so much of that, from years and years of gifts from non-sailing
friends, that I don't let any more into the house.

Both. Electric windlass, I presume? Didn't your tug have one?

Yes and no.

We got one of these

http://www.blyachting.com/En/detail.asp?sku=0800122

My first pick was an Ideal but it would have needed a custom drum fitted
and cost more than twice as much. If anybody is interested I'll post
some photos of the installation as it goes along.

1000W, 800# working load, power up & down. There is a wireless remote
option I'm thinking hard about.

This should be a welcome addition to our cruising, even without the
wireless remote. Anchoring has been a bit of a grunt-n-groaner.

Doug, I just shipped the metallic blue lighthouse that plays Fur Elise
(sharp and flat) to you...will look wonderful on the trawler...

Thank you Katysails, in the spirit of fair exchange, would you like a
dozen anchor shaped door knockers?

I'll take one.
