What to Buy at Amazon ?
Just came into a $500 store credit at Amazon. Trying to put together a list of toys.
- new fans for the cabin
- iPad bracket for cockpit? ( will rarely use)
- solar-LED cabin and deck lights?
Help me spend my money!
Probably gonna do some surfing tonight. Whoo-hoo another big Friday in Singapore...

She's a sailor too and the countdown timer is pretty decent.
I have several "fancy" watches with dead batteries in a drawer. My $300 Suunto crapendangled after 3 months and I am still fighting a warranty claim - grrr.
This Expedition has been takin' a lickin' and keepin' on tickin' for a year now. My most recent favorite boat watch.
I like to visit Thailand and ask the street vendors for fake casios. The looks I get LOL...

Ooops  .. this was the one I meant to post.. same as above but has AIS built in and splices it into the NMEA and WLAN streams.. so it gives a wired AIS feed back to your plotter too!
The only downside is that it's not a transceiver

Buy the book, "The Curve of Time", writtem by a single Mom who takes off in a small (26 foot) boat with her 5 children and explores in the footsteps of George Vancouver, the Pacific North West. She did this in 1929!

Re: What to Buy at Amazon ?
Watches??!!
I haven't worn or needed a watch in 4 years. Sun comes up, it's time to get up. Sun high and hot, it's time to seek shade or go swimming. Sun gets low, it's time for cocktails. It's always time to fix the boat.
Isn't this Cruiser's Forum?
