    question regarding strenth of binoculars

    We have Canon 18X50 IS All Weather Image Stabilized Binoculars. I originally bought them for casual astronomy. They are absolutely fantastic on the boat. They're expensive though.

    Headsets, have you owned both?

    Another Eartec customer. I would just agree with most of what has been posted. I don't use a lanyard, but you need to add a lanyard for the deck person. They should just offer one. (Are you listening Eartec?) We take the batteries out and put them in the charger between uses. It just...

    Downloading movies to watch on board

    I'm in Canada so the rules may be different, but for me I can download Apple TV and Netflix movies to my laptop. The last time I checked, you need to connect to Apple once a month and Netflix once a year to still be able to play them. We don't have WiFi all of the time when we are cruising...
