My initial reaction was the same. But then I read Paul Theroux's The Happy Isles of Oceania & he talks about listening to his walkman on long paddles. I was motivated to purchase the Otter case for my iPod & carry both. I tend to use it on fitness paddles. Really helps me keep on pace when all I care about is getting from one end of the lake to the other & back again as quickly as possible. It's also nice on urban paddle trips (which I sadly take quite often). Rather listen to Coldplay then the trucks on the highway or the lawnmowers/leaf blowers of suburbia. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
