    Have you considered installing headlights at positions around the hull below the line (so you don't get glare) of the gunnel, individually switched.. I've had a pair of rally car (not road legal, really bright) lights on the bow, now swapping over to LED (12v CREE house or shed floodlights, a box of 10 fairly cheap). Then hidden (no glare) lighting for the deck, white and red.
    Have a look at the house type LED replacement bulbs some are 12v tiny encapsulated, I use a choc block to connect to the two pins and make the light holders.
    I keep wondering about a fire lighting effect for the mouths of the dragon's..
    Good to see your having fun 😻

    The US Army shot missiles into the Mediterranean from Crete, and they cleared out that impact area too. Ours was hypergolic liquid propellant and oxidizer that was deadly if inhaled. Getting out of the area was very wise.

    • @SVSeeker
      @SVSeeker  7 месяцев назад +3

      It’s supposed to be a weapon, so I’d be a little disappointed if it was not deadly. I hope I’m getting something from my tax dollars :-)

    You might be able to call 1800-wxbrief can tell them you're a boat captain and they should have updates on live fire exercises. At least that's one way us pilots find out about such things. I've heard farmers, boat captains and other people can call the number to get information.
