Hey Myrl,

I think Roy's exactly right about the glare from the sun (directly) and reflecting off the water. I went fishing the other day and I forgot my cap and shades. The glare, both directly and indirectly, was terrible. It sure made watching that popper a real chore! Next time I'll GO BACK and get them. At least it didn't stop the bluegills from hitting. My .02 worth = put a SHINE on her and wear your cap and shades. Let others worry about the glare off your yak!

Happy Paddling.

Charles.
