Welcome to our little family, Hypoxic1. Your post was great. I can feel the excitement through the words you shared with us. Well done, on the water and on this forum.

I have a suggestion that may save you a few bucks down the road. Although one should always store electronics in ziplock bags while on a kayak, even the best preparations sometimes fail. Just a little salt water on a cell phone or camera can start the irreversible corrosion process.

I have a drawer full of old cell phones that still work fine. (AT&T must really like it when I walk in the door, but I am just a sucker for new technology). Anyway, when I plan to go out on my kayak, I pull the SIM card from my everyday phone and put it in one of my backups. So far, this strategy has worked out very well and many of the older phones are actually easier to use when on the water.

My 2 cents for the day.

Bob
