Niels said: <snip> I've been using them for a year now, in sea, surf and swimming pool sessions and never lost one. I've tried to deliberitely flush them out of my eyes, in a swimming pool and in a bathtub, and didn't manage. They shift but they don't go. And even if they do: I just carry a few spares. These lenses are so cheap, I can afford to loose one or two during a trip. They cost less then a dollar a piece. Hey tall guy: 1. Go for the laser surgery. 2. Crazy Glue them in if you do ever have a problem. 3. Get some "Demonic Red" contact lenses for those shipping lane crossings during thunderstorms. 8-) 4. What's the ascii for a smilie, for a contact wearer on e-mail? 5. What other weird kayak-related experiments do you perform in your bathtub? (No flare sessions, I hope - inside PW joke) 6. Without glasses, don't you find sea-spray wind-sting a problem? 7. When you tell your SO at home while reading PW that your eyes are "glazing over" from one of Doug's, Matt's, or Joan's long posts, does this mean you are saying it literally because you have contacts on? 8. Do you carry back-up contact lenses with your signal mirror and flares. Come on, be safe out there Niels. 9. Audry Sutherland says everything you take kayaking should have a dual purpose. I can start a small fire with my "magnifying" strength eye glass wear. What can you do with your "superior" contacts, huh? And finally: 10. Come out to the west coast of Canada next winter, and I'll show you some enviro-marine action that will not only flush your contacts out, but your eyeballs too! Be "seeing" ya.
