    help! lost glasses

    Last summer I'm fishing on the North Thompson river. A bee flew right at my face so I swatted at it, the tip of my finger snags my new sillhouettes with 1.67 comforts, Crizal,Transitions, and splash! right in the drink. (true story)
    Now, I figure they were passing Kamloops about 2 hours later, Then down the Fraser. Allowing for variable water levels, differing bottom contours, They should be passing Chilliwack sometime this Saturday, Then Mission and Maple Ridge. Sunday passing Surrey, then Burnaby, then finally Vancouver. I'm hoping all B.C. opticians can keep an eye out for them. If they don't turn up, I'll have to assume they made it into Georgia strait and down past the Border so I'll have to post on the regular forum and ask our American friends to watch for them. They should be passing San Francisco in September...

    Dave, hi! Actually, if they make it into the Straights of Georgia, they will be carried North along the East coast of Vancouver Island, past Comox and Campbell River and then out into the North Pacific to follow the current Northa nd West through the Aleutians, and then down the Siberian coastline to Japan. Should take about 18 months, but start looking in Tokyo...
