I'm surprised that none of the early adopter techies here left this must have gadget out of the recent "electronics" thread . . . of course maybe none of you sail with shoes on!

Enjoy

I guess Malabu Barbie could also use it during the winter months.

It's the perfect accessory to go along with the Bun Bronzer.

Thank you SO much for posting a link to this product. I can't tell you how many times I have lamented over my pale feet. It has been a source of great ridicule directed at me. I can't wait until it arrives. I even paid the rush shipping so I could be right by this weekend.

I haven't been this happy since I bought my scratch-and-sniff skunk doll or my leg-hair grooming brush.

Thanks again.

You all have entirely too much time on your hands, you should be out sailing!

However, I am reminded of a dreary, winter evening in '68 sitting in the company snack bar in Germany with some of my buds having way too many 1litre flippies. We challenged each other to come up with a product that would sell in the states that would be completely unnecessary. We invented the "Pink and Gray Electric Thumbbrush", then spent many hours on the features "comes in two colors, pink and gray" / advantages "fits in your pocket" / benefits "50% faster than manual brushing", then creating a marketing and advertising plan for it's release. So far, no one has infringed on our invention, but just wait until they do! I'll make millions on the lawsuit!

As a red, white and blue true American, I plan to manufacture them in Racine, Wisconsin, bringing in the raw materials by barge and shipping finished goods by rail. The barges would have advertising panels as would the railcars. Yes, a true American success!

Maybe I can get my buddy Helmo to finance me from all of the money he has made from his new NFL no-lace Punting Shoe or his "constant pressure at variable input speed fluid pump". Pet rocks ain't got nuthin' on him.

I kind of like the concept of selling Hydrous Di-Oxide that costs only pennies and retails for twice as much as gasoline!
But you gotta watch out, that stuff can kill you.
Hundreds die from it every year.
(drowning accidents) But it floats boats great!!

Hydrous? or just Hydrogen Dioxide? Hydrous would be water with two extra Os... That could be an interesting fuel!

Small print:

Some people who have used Tootsie Tanner have lost toes, or grown extra ones. You should talk to your doctor before using TT if you are pregnant, have immune problems or have listened to Pink Floyd as a child. In very rare cases people who used TT have taken off all their clothes and were seen running down the street yelling "They are coming, they are coming..."

Floating. Sailed her across the bay from the scrape and slap yard to the marina. 15 knots of wind, 135 and full main, 8 knots of boat speed, close hauled. After some tweaking, the wheel between two fingers. Like a freaking freight train!!!!! Admiral walking down below like she's on the Queen Mary, no sh*t flying around down there either. What a cruise!

Got about two hundred hours into her now. Still a lot to do, but she's fit enough for family cruising. Here's a shot at the mooring:
