That could easily be made of a downspout and a couples of mirrors. -- Who am I? http://www.froerup.dk/claus |

Seems reasonable for seeing the anchor set in clear waters I agree with WIllbur but his reply was unsualy shallow and thin. Try this: Its a stupid idea for pussys who want to be on a boat but who are afraid of the water. I could name a few here but cordialality stops me. So keep sitting in the cock pit drinkin sissy drinks and burning **** in those rediculus stainless steel butane bar b q. Now add a bucket with a plexi bottom..... Christ! If you modify the original bucket a bit by adding a soft material around the rim and adding a flexable strap taking the place of the bucket handle then you could fasten it to your face! Now that is how ROger thinks.......... You cant polish a turd............................................. Get a mask for god sakes and use it or Get one of those $200 video fish you can plop over the side if yore afraid of the water or a cardiac case so ****in fat ya cant move that far. A bucket with a plex bottom! get a life and stop reading books titled History Beneath theSea: 1000 BC to 1850" Bob |

It's been over two years since my last bottom paint. So far, the only thing I've noticed is that my knot meter sticks for a couple of minutes when I first start moving. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

Not really, as someone still has to go down to shine a light on the subject! Even better! Mount a light on the periscope. I have one of those penlight LEDs that are waterproof. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

If the water's clear enough to use one, it's probably warm enough to snorkel, which is faster and more fun. Reflection can be a problem with the buckets. My wife, who is not a comfortable swimmer, likes the boogie boards with an imbedded mask. No reflection and her face stays clear of the water. I've been weaning her off of that to a snorkeling vest, mask and snorkel, but she doesn't get enough practice. -- Jere Lull Xan-à-Deux -- Tanzer 28 #4 out of Tolchester, MD Xan's pages: http://web.mac.com/jerelull/iWeb/Xan/ Our BVI trips & tips: http://homepage.mac.com/jerelull/BVI/ |

You could then watch your anchor set on a TV screen. Isn't sailing getting expensive these days? Dennis. |
