Affordable range finder
 

I'm often unsure about how far I am from other objects in an anchorage
- other boats - other hazards - etc. I wish there was a device that
would measure ranges in the 50-1000 ft range. Not something that
depends on knowing the size of the object being viewed, of course.
But rather an optical or electronic gadget.

Try your local GOLF discount store......

Be careful boaters don't see you going in there to buy it....(c;

Golfers have this little split-image rangefinder that works pretty
well for finding the distance to the hole in that range. Of course,
that has nothing to do with getting the BALL anywhere near said
hole...hee hee.

$20 too much?

Wally World has the Bushnell Laser rangefinder at 700 yards for
$297....www.walmart.com

laser range finders.

Wonder what I would think if I spotted a little red dot on my can of
Boddingtons whilst reclining at Anchor!!
