Solar Rope Lights
As my cottage neighbors would likely be quick to tell you, I am a big fan of solar lighting I think they are ingenious, adding light to your cottage lawn, waterfront, even your dock. And the cost is so minimal, it is a pleasure to see them turn on when it gets dark. Last year I added some to my dock walkway and they made it much easier to navigate out there in the dark. Solar lighting enables you to put lights where you might not normally have them because of the dangers of mixing electricity and water.
This year I think I will be adding more solar lights to my dock, but instead of individual lights, I am going to put at least one of these Blue Solar LED Rope Light along the dock. These solar rope lights are water- and weather-resistant, and these solar rope lights will illuminate for 6 to 12 hours and turn on/off automatically based on lighting conditions.
This solar rope light set includes: LED rope light string, rechargeable batteries, solar cell/electronics compartment, mounting brackets and all hardware needed for installation. End-to-end: 23 ft long. First light to last light: 16 1/2 ft long.

From time to time I like to promote a good idea when I see one. Particularly if I think it is something that would be useful for my fellow cottagers. In this case I have something that I do believe will be very useful, and something anyone who has a waterline in their lake or shallow well will appreciate and use. It's called the Foot Valve and Hose Retainer and you can read about it
