First - - Happy Thanksgiving to all our friends and their families here in this extraordinary community of sailors! I hope we can all enjoy the riches and bounty we have in our lives.

As we all have seen, the after-Thanksgiving holiday sales generally start today. I happened to check on a small part for my winter layup and noticed that West Marine is having a 15% off sale today only.

For folks who�ve waited for a sale or lower prices to make a larger purchase, today might be a good day to check. Of course if WM competitors are offering lower prices as well and perhaps a better deal on shipping or taxes, you might luck out there too.

Happy turkey day and happy hunting. What�s on your list?

I noticed in the sales flyer that WM brand binoculars are going to be 50% off. On my list was the Coastal Series with a compass and rangefinder.........

Unfortunately, it appears they have discontinued all of their WM brand bino's with the exception of just four basic models.

I bought a Black & Decker 20 Volt Matrix cordless drill last year because my old cordless battery died (NiCD). This one touted a Lithium battery for a zillion charge cycles. We�ll see how that works out.
I used it a few times and it worked OK.
So I read the literature with the drill and it says that the Matrix line includes a quick change attachment for the drill head. I found out that I can attach a rotary saw, a reciprocating saw, a sanding head and a router to the drill motor. All in the matrix line.
Apparently these were sold at Lowe�s, Home Depot, Walmart and Amazon and it seems the line is coming to an end soon, to be replaced by non-interchangeable tools.
I checked around and I picked up one part from Amazon, another part from WM, a replacement battery elsewhere... So now I have the full set.
These tools are not intended to build a house or a deck, but are great for small inside jobs like closets, cabinets, mouldings and for wooden and plastic boat trim, you can�t go wrong.
And with the Black Friday sales, the pricing was great. You can probably still score a Cyber Monday deal or two...
As I start using them, I�ll report back and post some pix.
