Boating xmas gift

With the wind picking up outside and 70mph gusts out in the solent I'm thinking ;

What do I ask for/ get myself as an xmas pressie to myself ??

Tempted by an HD action cam, but really cant justify the cost for the use I'd give it

So whats on peoples xmas list to do with boating or just in general?

I have been tempted by an SR4 ( just because I've driven but never owned one) but thats just daft isn't it ?

My mother in law is getting me an orange smoke flare.
Mostly as mail order is difficult and she lives near a chandler - She's not quite taken the significance of mother-in -law and distress signal

No that is not daft at all - indeed it is immensely smart - a good SR4 is one of the best value RIBs £ for lb - Carpe Diem

The Prefect Christmas Present

I'm not the easiest to buy for. Or so I thought until I found this lot online Linky. I tipped off the likely buyers and now I'm waiting for Santa...

So it will be a bottle of Elements of Islay for you my boy with maybe a tee shirt thrown in. I think I chance my luck and ask for a btl of Stillman's Dram from my favourite island distillery, you know the one!!
Anyway mate hope you get it and enjoy, have a lovely time personally and a busy time business wise.
