This site has been a wealth of information, and I just wanted to pass on some products that intrest me and may intrest you as well.

I have been looking around the net since I will be upgrading this summer to a new kayak I have been looking for rigging parts. What I'd like to do is take everything that I have learned and apply it to rigging this next kayak.

One area that I was unhappy with was the lack of good (waterproof) battery powered navigation lights. I have been looking for a good quality stern light for some time to no avail. During my search I've found the following on the internet and thought that I'd pass it on:

Any of those seem like they would do the trick.

I also have purchased excellent waterproof LED flashlights:

I forgot to mention I have upgraded all my electronics from: head lamp to radio, to all be powered by AA batteries.

Why? Because AA batteries are cheap and easy to find. Currently I use rechargeable 2400 mah AA batteries.

What I do is load up the lights, radio, etc. with batteries fresh off of the charger and put spares in a pelican dry box. That way I do not have to worry about sparing battery use.

On emergency charging, here is a handy product that I have not purchased yet but will soon. It fits with my philosophy of cross compatibility:

Good Stuff. I am looking for lights right now, so help me out my friend.

I have a Mainstream Patriot "sit in" kayak. I need a white 360 degree stern light and would prefer NOT to drill or cut. AA batteries are what I want.

Also, that little bow light I see - does it have a suction cup?

Nice accessories.
