[Sportsandrec] Ideas needed!

[Julie J.]

Hey, this reminds me that I wanted to tell you guys that I did end up 
going kayaking on my trip to Alaska.  It was more a sightseeing trip 
than a true sport kayaking experience, which was perfect for me and my 
son.  The company uses double seat kayaks so my son sat in the back and 
did the steering.  Or he was supposed to, but got distracted a lot.  It 
was beautiful!  I discovered that I could generally hear where the 
shoreline was based on sound.  We were on the ocean, but in little coves 
always near the shore so the water was calm.

Okay sound ideas for Mike...a small battery operated mp3 player in a 
plastic waterproof bag?  or bells put on the paddle instead of the boat 
so they'd always be moving?  Luggage locater in a waterproof container?  
ask the person questions so he talks to you?

I'll keep thinking.

Julie
