My philosophy is that the more you invest in a flashlight, the more you regret it when it goes over the sidebecause it will.
I get an excessive number of cheap-ass flashlights (there are about six on board now) and I don¹t get too attached to any of them. Those that survive to the next season get new batteries. If you watch out during the year, you can spot some incredibly cheap deals, with batteries included, at Wal-Mart or Home Depot. (They look pretty cool when they go overboard and drop from sight. Sometimes you¹re at a dock and you can see it down there for hours.) -- --Dave Shugarts C-27 #4866 Cahoots (1981) SR, A4, Tiller, Dinette Newtown (Housatonic River), CT E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.BoatDiddly.com ~~~~_/)~~~~~~~~~~~~(\_~~~~ ~~~~~ (\_~~~~ On 7/26/07 6:00 PM, "Sailor Chef" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I use the "mid" size Maglite, the one that uses "C" cells.
