There have been many suggestions for your hat. Does any one use a straw
hat.

-They don't collect sweat.
-You can get them rather cheap. (5$)
-You can get them to fit your personality. Cowboy, Panama, etc.
-Best part they float and can be a center piece in you man overboard drill.
-And if you lose the "Man" they are cheap and don't cost much.

For years I have worn Baseball style Caps when boating. I liked the
long brim and the fact that if it actually blew off and I could not turn
the boat around quick enough, it was not too expensive to replace.

I have since found out they don't work well when taking photographs. I
am looking at the Tilley Hats (LT3 or LT6) as a new hat that will work
when I have a camera stuck to my nose. Does anyone have any
recommendations for a light weight, cool (not hot) hat that does not get
in the way when taking photos?

This'll probably sound really stupid, but it's what I do. I turn the cap
around so the bill is facing the rear, take the picture, and then rotate
the cap again.
