Seriously...I got a gas detection system.....NASA......nothing to do with brussel sprouts promise.
More exciting I got the Shokz bone conduction headphones so I can do the comms with my wife on helm as we park the boat without shouting..... (they do not obstruct the ear canal),,,,,, having tested them out walking through some noisy places I will say that my hearing aids needed turning off (or down) as the noise going in via my ears overwhelmed the headphones. But once hearing aids switched off the clarity was excellent. This review is a work in progress as I also discovered I can tamper with my android phone sound settings and boost certain frequencies to my needs.
Finally my most fun was had when I wandered into the garden with a rope.....a rope I intend to use as my midship line for lasooing cleats. Put a watering can about 10 feet away and was reliably getting round the target. Don't want to tempt fate when off the side of the boat and with stanchions and guard rails and stress but lasooing felt a lot of fun. Could have kept at it for hours like a 10 year old but had to go for a family walk.....
Anyone else enjoy boat related pressies?
