Default solar-powered Windex light

Brilliant. Just brilliant! Did you ever sail at night? There's no
"Solar" to power the light.
Do you really want the collector and the battery at the top of your mast?
You do know that you need both, don't you? Have you been dipping into the
brown acid again? Sheesh!



Seems to me real sailors don't bother with a cheap inferior Windex which is
a joke at best. Instead real sailors use an electronic and wired wind
instrument at the masthead that has a readout in the cockpit that indicates
wind direction and wind speed. That Jon Boy is an amateur act at best.
