[Paddlewise] Prescription glasses

I have lost two pairs of Marchon Autoflex 1 eye glasses at $325 each, one
pair while paddling the (entire) California coast at Ventura (I won't tell
the story) and one pair landing in dumpers at Big Lagoon, north of Eureka
CA. These frames are made with titanium and are quite suitable for
saltwater. It is always a pain to have salt crystalize on the lens so I have
taken to licking them with my tongue. They also fog-up while kayaking white
water!

I have sport glasses identical to those worn by football players but they
are uncomfortable. If you're on a long trip take an extra pair ...and be
sure you use the cheap ones while landing in surf. Use croakies.
