Now I need these

You seriously don't.

i should get out all my paddling shoes I have that i don't like and see if you want to buy them. Aren't you a 6, 6.5 like me?

Not to mention my wetsuits.

I LOVE the Trunk Monkey!! I need to get my next car from the Suburban Auto Group.

I tested out the new camera today and I'm very pleased. Extremely quick start-up, quick focus and snapping, and very little delay between shots. That was the biggest complaint on the Olympus and one of the deciding factors in me not getting it. It got passed around several boats and everyone enjoyed using it. Even my brother, who has never owned a camera and lives by the motto "All of my pictures are stored up here (pointing at head)". The autofocus was a little annoying at times, not always choosing what I wanted. But several of the picture modes had an "infinity focus" option, so I chose that when I could. The waterproof claims are holding true so far, and the piece-of-mind I now have was well-worth the price of the camera. If I weren't so exhausted, I'd post some pictures. Maybe tomorrow.

Which one did you end up with?

[NoNo]

The ugly Canon D10. But dammit, it works!

Zen, I met someone that has the paddling boots you want. She paddles year round, mostly uses a drysuit. But she says she uses the knee high paddling boots twice a year, when she goes down to florida to paddle in the winter, when the air temp is colder than the water temp. Otherwise, she's in a wetsuit or drysuit

Paddling on the Potomac near DC, which is really quite a nice paddle because within like 6 miles after putting in at a marina opposite the pentagon, you go past all the monuments, past the watergate, georgetown, the kennedy center, then go into forest, and then into rocky coastlines and then you're at the base of little falls. Expand that to 10 miles and you include national airport, national harbor, naval research labs, old town alexandria and a really wide river. And there was the drunk guy that swam across the river from georgetown onto a little beach - holding his beer cup out of the water. He did his victory dance, stood on his head and fell over a couple of times, insisted on hugging me, and then dove back into the water at which point his shorts slipped down exposing his buttocks and started to swim back across the river...

Well that's nice to know.
Once again, thanks for the invitation
