Hello all,
This is really a request for information. I am headed to Maine in
the next several weeks. I am planning a Pelagic trip to see Puffins and
hopefully a few other pelagic species. This will be my first pelagic
experience. What I am wondering is what are some of the things I need to
consider to make this a successful experience. I am especially concerned
about my binoculars. I vaguely recall talking to a birder last fall about
damage to his binoculars from salt spray. How big of a problem is this and
what reasonble steps can one take to protect your binoculars???? My
binoculars are water proof thats not my concern but rather the effect the
salt spray might have upon the coatings on the lens. Thanks in advance....
