Thanks Paul,

I like the look of the Silva, I'll find one to fondle. Anyone out in 
Paddlewise-land have any experience, the web is light (groan!) on reviews.

Craig, you suggested that I didn't need a waterproof light and that a water 
resistant unit would be sufficient. I'm an ex-infantryman and the test of 
any equipment was to make it "Grunt Proof", so I really, really do need it 
to be robust. Made of titanium and with no switches, or ways of actually 
getting into it, would be a good start. I even broke a Claymore Mine in half 
once, but that's another story!

On the matter of Jetski destruction, I must admit that I'm a little 
disappointed by the muted response from what is a predominantly US 
audience.I would have expected that by now there would be many posts on 
calibres, projectiles, sighting systems etc. :-)

I must just read the wrong magazines!

Cheers

JKA
