Well took the trip to the Annapolis show today, heard Michael was supposed to be there, but didn't see him. Saw interesting toys, but came home rather light. There was a very interesting flashlight which we now have and does not require batteries. Runs a white LED and to charge just shake it for 30 seconds to get 10 minutes of light. Has a magnet and coil and as you shake it charges. haven't tried one out except there, but it seemed to be fairly bright, and on a boat with lack of power will do just fine. Also will use on campouts etc that i am involved in.  In addition both floats with beam up and waterproof to 400 feet. Hope everyone has a great weekend and happy sailing for the last few weeks of the season for us notherners.
