Tidal Clocks	If you're fortunate enough to live by the ocean, you know that the sea has its own time schedule.   The moon teases us using its gravitational pull to pull the tidal waters to and from the shore twice every twenty four hours and fifty minutes.  A handy tidal clock keeps track of this for you, so you will know when to take your boat out or bring it in. It will allow you to concentrate on more important things, like when the fish are cascading around your boat at the inlet or when to take a trip out to sea searching for dolphins..  They are available in many designs for all tastes.
Stormproof Lighter	If you find yourself caught without power in an emergency, or on an adventure in extreme places, this stormproof lighter is a necessity.  The flame can withstand winds from 70-80 mph, and the lighter will work in extremely low temperatures, optimally in altitudes up to 9,000 feet.  An electric ignition system, good for over 30,000 ignitions, eliminates the he need for batteries or flints, which can fail when wet.  Available in green or black
