That kind of thinking is exactly what causes accidents.

Carry the flares Tim - they are cheap enough, don't take up a lot of
room and you'll be that much safer.


I deffinately plan on it, Tom.

Unfortunately, I can't go 30 mi. to the local marine store during their
business hrs.

Don't live near a Bass Pro Shop, etc.

Can these be ordered online?

Hmmm, I just thought of something. Maybe my local gun dealer[s] can get
them?


I buy mine at Wal-Mart

I remember watching "Master Commander; The Far Side of the Earth"

And when the Brits werre chasing the French in the storm, and the Capt,
was wanting a speed report, I rememeber the guys at the back tossing a
line over the stern, and as the line reeled off they counted the
"knots" agains the time of an hr. glass. So to Google we go, and I
found this:

Interesting to say the least.
