In The Same Boat
Tamia started her "Backcountry Photography" series over a year ago, and last month she began summing things up, answering a few recurring questions for paddlers who were new to digital photography. This time around she's bringing it all together for old hands at the game. So if that describes you, you'll want to read the latest In the Same Boat: "Digital Master Class."

Product Review Spotlight
Tarpon 120 by Wilderness Systems
I've had this for about 7 months now and I love this kayak. The only negative is that it is a little heavy and takes some work to load it on my roof rack. It is a dry ride unless you move your weight forward in the seat. Then water will come up through the forward scuppers. I find the seat very comfortable and can spend 6-7 hours in it, just shifting my weight around a little to adjust comfort. I have arthritis in my back and still have no issues... Rating: 10 of 10 by MJN
