3 Uses for a LED Pet Collar that  Might Save Your Life or Sanity

   I think it's great they've invented LED collars for dogs. I love that they're easily seen, which is a high priority when cruising on the water. I also like all the neon colors they come in, and that they're rechargeable. Lucky pups.
   But I'm an Inside Passage cruiser, so I'm always looking at things from the perspective that they can have a different use aboard L'Esprit. I bet you're like that too!
  Here're some ideas for using a LED dog collar, even if you don't own a dog.
- Keep a couple in your dinghy safety bag for those occasions when you  have to come back to your boat in the dark, and you want to be seen.
- Keep one by the companionway in case one of you has to go out on a dark deck at night. Put it around your neck to provide light, but also allowing you to use both hands for safety and work.
- Keep one in each of your boat's dark pits  (you know, the cupboards and closets that require the aid of a flare gun to find what you're looking for). 
   If you think the ring's too big, consider attaching the little pet lights on your jacket or safety vest. You only  have to turn it on when you need it.  
   You can get these LED products at pet stores and on Amazon.
