What do you all use for sunglasses/shades when paddling around here and
there?
I went out yesterday in one of the local harbors and while taking a
picture
(stupid me) dumped my sunglasses which sank rather quickly to the bottom
and for the life of me I couldn't find them... Needless to say they
weren't
a type that floats (nor were they a type specifically for boating).

I use an eyeglass holding strap that has foam floats on the back. The
theory being that if the strap is not successfull in holding your glasses
on, at least they will float on the water so that you can retrieve them. In
my case it is a little silly for me to have them because with my vision (or
lack thereof) I would't be able to see them if the were floating next to the
boat and were the size of a harbor bouy. Sorry I can't remember the name
they were sold under but I got them at REI, if that helps.
