 I almost ordered these last night, but I am wondering where on earth I
would store them?! I paddle (whatever the term is)..."low" style... close to
the deck. Would the mesh bag I am thinking of getting hold them? The idea
here is to be able to paddle the Mississippi River, where you cannot fool
around, you have to be totally focused all the time. I am trying to cut down
on deck clutter. I would certainly enjoy a nice pair of binoculars, but they
are useless if I cannot easily get to them.  You folks who have nice big
binocs, where do you put them?
    I might eventually turn into a birdwatcher, but that is not my main
focus.  (It might be worth becoming a birdwatcher just to join in making up
the names...."That's a Wank-Webbed Cypress Nifter"  <G>)
  thanks AGAIN  Marsanne
