I'm surprised no one has mentioned light gathering
capability.

Only someone who actually used binoculars under varied and
adverse
conditions would mention this. Most here are daytime fair
weather sailors,
why are you surprised?


some here don't even own a boat. Shocking!

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.

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.

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!
