Odda Sea now has cold beer (what better time to drop by?), sawdust apparently has uses other than bulking out processed food that might be of interest to folks cruising less than tropic waters, and a John Sayles film to look forward to...
The weather report said sunny and no rain today, so hardly surprising that it is overcast with showers... Put not your trust in weather gurus! Anyway, the plan was to do some work that requires things to be dry so I'm kind of flailing about putting the "To Do" list in some sort of order that makes sense.
Now here is a question... How many of you feel the need to put a bunch of underwater lights below the waterline of your boat to create an "ambiance" (whatever the hell that means)?
The reason I ask, is being a"gear blog" I seem to get a zillion press releases pimping said seriously expensive underwater lighting systems so someone thinks the idea is of some merit (at least in separating boatfolk from their bank accounts)...
The scary thing is there is no shortage of needful stuff they could be selling us... Better more affordable solar panels and wind generators, zombie alarms, products that hold up in a marine environment, a trailing log or other non-electronic navigation tools, but no, my press release folder is brim full of boat soap and the marine equivalent of a rednecks dream come true... lighted wheel wells!
Which leaves me to believe that the marine industry has simply tapped out and run out of ideas so has had to resort to recycling really bad ideas from other venues... Pet rocks and mood rings here we come!

So it goes...
