Mary - I have a necklace made from a shackle. It is my favorite. I wonder if I could get a small shackle in my navel piercing....hmmmm. Nah. I think it would need to be re-pierced with a bigger needle to fit the width. Would be neat though.

Rick - Sailing Angles gloves are the best. I've had my current pair for a year, and I crew on a spi boat no less. However, I do wear a pair of these obnoxious gardening gloves made of knitting and textured rubber palms over them to help grip the sheets better.

As for Xmas wish list. I want a head-cam so I can wear it while racing/sailing. And a lap top.
