Hi,

Does anyone know a store either stateside or in the Bahamas where I can buy a water glass online (sometimes also called a water box) or someone locally? All the stores here in Abaco are out of stock, and a Google search was fruitless.

Thanks very much in advance.

Thanks to all for the private and public messages. I got some great advice on how to make one, cheap: cut out the bottom of a 2 1/2 gallon plastic bucket leaving a 1/2" lip. Get a piece of round glass cut at Abaco Glass in Marsh Harbour and seal the glass to the bucket with silicon. It works great and total cost was $12! I'll try to post some pictures after using it later today.

Good day,
Paint or stain the inside of the bucket a dark color.
You will get less reflected light, and you will be able to see better.
Regards,
