Estrellita received a binnacle mount binocular and cup holder for Christmas 2010. We have been delaying for 3 years because we were looking for a cockpit table. Because apparently we are unable to commit to a cockpit table, after reading a review of cup holders (seriously, they had a review of boat cup holders) in Practical Sailor magazine, we decided to stop spilling drinks and searching for the binoculars and pick up
the Snap-It version. It’s plastic-y, it isn’t a cockpit table, but man oh man, we already love it.
Carol received a
Ray Odor 3 piece pole spear with two tips (paralyzer tip shown) and is looking forward to testing it out by dinghy this summer and in the warmer waters when we reach Mexico:
In addition to non-boat spa and yoga related gifts,
Livia has the coolest new
sailing gloves
a woman could want and which were baptized in salt during our Strait of Juan de Fuca crossing after Christmas.
Nice spear! :)
ReplyDeleteI was on the fence about visiting in Mexico. But now there's a spear to play with? Just let me know when and where.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Bellingham, WA. Just wanted to say that I love reading your blogs! Cruising is a dream of mine also (though its much further out in time for me). Good luck, and I really appreciate all the time that goes into a well-written blog like this. (BTW, a Pretorien 35 is my ideal cruising boat - hope to upgrade to one someday!)
ReplyDeleteThat pointy thing gets used when you're on the inflatable thing? Brave souls!
ReplyDeleteI want to know why some of Livia's glove fingers have tips and others do not :)
Thanks for the rec Mike.
ReplyDeleteRyan - OK, you win.
Thanks Pat! Best of luck in your search.
Hi Jessie - one of the annoying things about boating and gloves is that you have to tie knots which is hard in fingered gloves so I used to have fingerless sailing gloves (cold). All of the long fingered gloves seem to come with free thumbs and pointer fingers for tying knots.
