The fog stuff looks interesting. It mostly a venting problem though. We had some really rough conditions at the start last year. I started with large oversized sunglasses but got so much water in my eyes because the spray was coming under the lenses up from the hull while I was trapezed (i.e. up from my feet). I switched to the barz goggles with vented lenses but I still had a problem keeping the water out from my eyes...but it was better. it could be that I didn't have the strap tight enough. My eyes were really burning on the second day! I then switched to the non-vented lenses and tightened the strap and the water finally stopped but now they were fogging. I then tried all manners of anti-fog products...."cat crap", some diving stuff David had, and finally spitting on the goggles (that worked the best of all of them). I still wasn't very happy and I missed being able to look around while rounding the launch facility at Cape Canaveral.

I have ordered a couple of different styles of glasses/goggles. I have some ski goggles that look promising (although quite goofy looking!), I have some fire fighting sunglasses/goggles that also look pretty neat (sealed all around with foam but vented at the trailing edge), and some motorcycle sunglasses that are also sealed and vented. I think the key is to get the venting away from the bottom and top of the lense but back toward the sides. We'll see how it works! I would love to find something that was good enough that I could wear contacts underneath; but that's unlikely.

As far as the GPS goes - the GPS72 has a large enough display that you can read heading, speed, and distance to finish from the boom (from one side anyway). I kept the etrex leashed to my shoulder strap and tucked inside my life vest when not in needed. It would occasionally loose signal so this year, I plan to velcro it to the front of my vest when not in use. I could usually free up one hand to take a peek at the GPS when I needed more detail than provided by the 72.
