Hi Deena and Harvey, Thanks for your kind words. When I'm out sailing I want my peace and quiet; I want to hear the gurgle of a chuckling bow wave; not the the high pitched whine of PWCs wake jumping; or Cigarettes with 2 x 1000 HP engines that you hear coming for five minutes and going for five minutes. Maybe it's high time to set up a silence preserve for sailors and paddlers: the cry of the loon; the splash of a fish; those are the loudest noises I want to hear! By the way, last year I bought a SONY CD player and two small SONY speakers for LEPPO. Now I can enjoy good music while sailing and the unit's size make them ideal for a Montgomery 15. Almost 0 space requirement; runs on AA batteries (25 hours); weighs ounces, and produces great sound. Would work in your canoe too!
