Don’t go Overboard!
Ok, I’m not great Seafarer (in fact my experiences with going on boats quite often result in severe nausea!), yet I still watched with interest last night at the slick business pitch for Water Buoy on Dragon’s Den this week. I may not venture off dry land very often (apart from my weekly swim at the local pool), but as someone who is forever losing things I appreciated how Water Buoy could be an ingenious device for boating fanatics.
Water Buoy claims to be the world’s first and strongest intelligent miniature flotation device that is also visible at night. If you accidentally drop your keys overboard, Water Buoy will save the day, so there’s no need for you to go diving in after them! Using gas, a balloon and a light, this little device may be small, but claims to be capable of lifting up to 1KG of weight!
You simply attach it to your valuable and should they end up overboard, the device will trigger the balloon before they sink too far and they’ll soon reappear on the surface of the water. If only someone would invent something similar for use on dry land - but then again, with the list of things I mislay around the house, I’d end up attaching one to everything I own!
