Let's hope that 2011 is a good year for all of us on and off the water!

Cheers :D

Awesome shot, Chris! Hope to do some white water with you in 2011. Got perscription ski googles for xmas that I believe could be used for white water. Nice to see where I am going.....not like last time heading down the river with little visual definition.

Bea,

They also make prescription swim/dive masks. They're a little larger than swim goggles and a bit smaller than ski goggles, allowing for decent peripheral vision. They are pretty comfortable, and I think they would work better than ski goggles. Mine stay on when I'm playing in the ocean.

You're welcome to try them on and see what you think.

Eileen

Hi Chris,
I was driving back from Waterville valley on Sunday and saw an SUV with 3 whitewater boats on it. One was mango. Maybe it was you. I actually thought of you when I saw them. My wife was preplexed to see kayaks on January 2nd. Go figure.

Chip - someone said that they counted 75 boaters on Saturday. I saw one swimmer, and I think that I was aware of one other.

video that someone compiled - maybe it's viewable?

Would have loved to join you Chris, but we were flying back from FL on the First. We did put a proper ending onto 2010 though; these are from Lemon Bay in Englewood FL :)
