Defender.com is a popular boating supply site. Kind of like West Marine. Gill make serious sailing clothing.

I don't know much about these sunglasses. They float. They are polarized. They look like they are at a pretty good price.

List for $90, seen on the web for around $80, on "Special Buy" for $51 adult sized in silver and blue only.

No tax outside Connecticut.
