It was actually a spur of the moment thing. I didn't get there till about 6, then paddled as fast as possible to see as much as I could before the sunset.
I usually feel like i should give someone more than 5 minutes notice before asking 'em to do something. but I was working on a paper and couldn't stand it anymore and threw the boat on the car to be doing something else.
when in Costa Rica, I was talking to a guy that runs a kayak touring business half the year in Costa Rica and the other half the year up in Canada... and he was saying that one of the things he loved about sea kayaking, was that it was a sport that he knew he could do well into his 90's (he had lots of elder/older/elderly clients)...
Of course, if I'm 90 & still paddlign, my boat better weigh 15 lbs.
This may be the first time I've read the manual to anything, but I want to make sure I seal this thing up right! I'm going Sunday to a place I've been wanting to paddle for a while, so I'm very excited to try it out. First impressions: Yes, it's a bit on the bulky side, but not horrendous. And I think it starts up faster than my old Coolpix S600, and that thing was fast! Controls are seemingly well layed out and I think it has quick access to every setting I'd want. Of course, the real test will come Sunday.
and what I learned.
I learned I hate this thing. It's only good if you're shooting all underwater.
I am going back to my Pelican case.
Bah.
ETA- I forgot to say I was using something similar to this

Some of those pictures are good. Others not so much.
I just ordered a case for my dslr to use while kayaking - I have a feeling it's going to have similar results, but I'll try it - I'm boggled as to what to do with seacaves.
Can you return it?
I threw away the packaging

What kind of camera is it for? It may be time for a new higher-megapixel underwater camera.
2007 Rivendell Glorius/Trico gel with cutout (not made any more apparently)
2005 Specialized Sequoia Comp/Specialized Dolce
2006 Kona Cinder Cone/another Trico gel
1986? Bridgestone mixte/Brooks B72
1991 Bridgestone 300 Xtracycle/Terry Gelissimo
It's for the Panasonic Lumix I just bought.
I guess I'm gonna be buying yet another camera

Oh, nevemind. I was able to get the link to load finally, and the housing won't work for diving (obviously.)
Too bad it isn't what you want...the camera takes good pictures.

The camera's so good, even a monkey could take a good picture with it
