Bruce-in-Bangkok (correct email address for reply) We've had this same ongoing problem in the BVIs after many too many. Finally we got smart and left one of thos hanging lights in the cockpit. That worked for a couple of nights until all of our drunken neighbors thought it was such a good idea. LOL -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

LOL An Australian mate of mine recently discovered these flexible strips of LED's so he bought a blue one and wrapped it around the back stay. Says it is a world of help in finding his boat at night.
