Ran across this:

Anybody using one, or a facsimile?
Seems reasonable for seeing the anchor set in clear waters.

Might be useful in the tropics, but out here, you can't see the bottom...
course, it's mostly mud....

Here you could see the little critters clogging up every strainer every 3
days....peering back at you showing his little prehistoric teeth....

They bite like hell!

Damned strainers.

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.

What are you using? I swam the bottom a week or so ago and
practically had to use a machete to get the growth off.

I'd have to look it up, but it was Trinidad something or other. At one
point, I hadn't used the boat for a couple of weeks, and there was a small
"edge" of green, but that went away as soon as I got going.
