Affordable range finder

[Marc Auslander]

I'm often unsure about how far I am from other objects in an anchorage
- other boats - other hazards - etc. I wish there was a device that
would measure ranges in the 50-1000 ft range. Not something that
depends on knowing the size of the object being viewed, of course.
But rather an optical or electronic gadget.

Check out any shooting supply or gun store. They have various optical and
laser range finders.

The Electricity supply mob here in Sth Aust have just the thing you want.
Just like a pair of binoculars that you focus in & then just read the
little indicator. Chap takes his out deer shooting!!

Wonder what I would think if I spotted a little red dot on my can of
Boddingtons whilst reclining at Anchor!!
