G'Day All,

A few months ago I asked for advice on prescription sunglasses for kayaking
and received heaps of responses.

I eventually went to an optician who suggested that as well as the near
vision correction I should get the long vision adjusted for astigmatism. The
long and the short of it is I ordered a pair of non polarised bifocals for
about $100, its my experience that one only ever loses or damages expensive
specs, the cheap ones lead a charmed life. and they are marvellous. Not only
can I again see the VHF radio, the map and the GPS but I can also see waves
on the horizon, birds, fish and look forward to seeing a whale without
running into it, as happened a few years ago. And I'll swear my rolling has
improved:~)

Many thanks for all your advice and a happy new year to all you
Paddlewisers.

All the best, PeterO
