I must wear glasses on the water. I enjoy the beauty around me( the main
reason I'm out there) and, of course, I have to see what hazards lie
ahead. The problem is that I have lost 2 pairs of prescription glasses
in as many years. Both times I capsized in large surf which swept the
glasses with Croakies right off my head. Someone has suggested running a
cord from the frames to my PFD...I'll probably do that. Since I am in
the market for new glasses I would to know how others secure their
eyeglasses. I saw some sport "goggles"...heavy plastic frames with an
elastic strap in place of the temples. Has anyone tried these for sea
kayaking? JAKE
