I have a similar set up with handheld VHFs. I have one I use whenever I'm
aboard and a nice one sitting on the bottom of the bay. It was on when it
went over. I wonder how long the bat lasted.

I have two sets of binoculars. A cheap pair that I use for everyday
knocking about, and a really nice expensive pair that I keep on the bottom
of Lake Superior.

Just one? Hahah ha ha ha

Hey, I'm poor, what can I say? But they are those nice fold up ones (not
carboard but something sturdier) that someone threw out at a rodeo here.
They were Dodge Ram promo opera glass/binocular thing. I wiped the chew off
of it and they work great!

Correct. 1 point to Dave

Oh, you mean dipping the strap of the second. I hadn't thought this notion
particularly related to binoculars. You dip the loop or eye any time you
need to be able to remove either loop without removing the other.

Excuse me for asking but who appointed you the expert?

Capt. Rob doesn't have feet. His body stops at his asshole.

Dave and I appointed Bart as the expert. Next question from peanut
gallery....
