   I love this little scale!
   Not only is it compact (5" x 4" x .5"), it's pretty darned accurate on a boat.
    You boater's know that weighing something on a boat can be a bit of a challenge because of the boat moving on the water. But this little gem made by Spirit is pretty darned steady in its readings.
    And it only cost $12 on Amazon.
  Plus it converts between grams, ounces, pennyweight, carats, and grains (honestly, I've never needed to use the last three units on my boat, but who knows? You just might.
   You might wonder why i need a scale while cruising. IKt's because sometimes I cook and bake using ratios, and I use Michael Ruhlman's book Ratio: The Simple Codes Behind the Craft of Everyday Cooking. I also use Fine Cooking's Make-Your-Own recipes' ratios.
