Replaced our old makeshift very-much-less-than-watertight haft light with a new makeshit light that's a lot nicer and hopefully more watertight.

@GustavinoBevilacqua very many, I think it's 40 years old. The cap fell off somewhere near new-zealand so we used a piece of wood, which wasn't a good idea.

It lives!

We found this old fishing rod holder and glasses a little potted light inside and used the enclosure to run the wires through the ss pipes down to the bus. Looks neat!

What's a haft light? (Looking around furtively in case I'm walking into a ligma setup)

There are so many obscure nautical terms. I was completely prepared to accept haft as legit
