Musings about the borescopes - The one my crew used (iphone style) to look into my mast worked great, but when he put it into the water to look form my sunglasses, everything went south, ant the end of that borescope. And It was supposed to be waterproof. so, probably either get a really cheap one, or an expensive one? (with a guarantee)
Bill Coleman Erie PA ps -then I bought a really strong magnet from Hamilton Marine, no joy. Then I bought a Looong handled Pool skimmer, STILL no sunglasses! So then when Clics ran a buy one, get up to 5 for $20 each, I loaded up! On Wed, Nov 19, 2025 at 7:20 PM Janet Schilling via CnC-List < [email protected]> wrote: > Hmmm.
