In Response To: Announce: glow in the dark rope (Bill Hamm)

: Found a new thing. Glow in the dark rope, in a review in the new
: issue of "Sailing" magazine. It's nylon and supposedly
: the glow in the dark feature is in the fiber, not a coating, so
: should be durable. Seeing that it's nylon it's not the ideal for
: perimeter lines, but maybe for a painter? And might be the ideal
: for a tow line used at night. It's from Pelican ropes at:
: www.pelicanrope.com

I use 1/4" glow-in-the-dark for the ridgeline on my camping hammock, and for clotheslines in camp. It's great stuff, has saved several of us from ...um..... clotheslining ourselves in the dark!
I picked mine up at a local hardware store, I think I paid between $5 & $6 for 100'.
