Paddles Ready

I'm going to Niagra Falls vacation … what I do with my camera?

My family and I are going to Niagara Falls, Gettysburg, Hershey, DC and Canada. We plan a Boat trip to the Falls, and go behind the Falls, etc. I loveee my camera, and I want to use it to take pictures, but I I do not know how. Some people said to use a zip lock bag, but I do not understand how they would cover it and the lens? I want a free or very cheap option. I will use a waterproof camera if I have, but I plan on taking hundreds of pictures, and waterproof cameras only let you take 20. Ideas? By the way, my camera is a Canon SX120.

Waterproof cases / bags are a bit expensive. Here's one for just $ 20 though: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/555966-REG/DiCAPac_WP410.html

The Hal Roth Seafaring Trilogy: Three True Stories of Adventure Under Sail: Two on a Big Ocean/Two Against Cape Horn/The Longest Race $27.95 Taste the salt spray. Watch the green water swirling down your leeward deck. Hear the cries of seabirds skimming wave tops thousands of miles from land. To dip into the pages of The Hal Roth Seafaring Trilogy is to throw open the doors and windows of your imagination on a vast, wild seascape, where any adventure is possible. Hal Roth is the Homer of our generation, a wandering storyteller who for years has sailed distant oceans in small boats. The tales he brings back are all the more incredible because they are true, and three of his all-time classics are gathered here, for the first time, between one set of covers. A journalist before he was a voyager, Roth combines a journalist’s powers of observation and flinty realism with the poetic insights of a long-distance sailor and a graceful phrasing all his own. His utterly distinctive voice can be confused with no other nautical storyteller. He hides vast stores of seagoing knowledge in simple descriptions. Sailors are advised to read each story twice: first for the pleasure of a great adventure, then for a wealth of insights on overcoming adversity at sea. In Two on a Big Ocean, we accompany Hal and his wife, Margaret, on their first major sea trek from San Francisco to Japan by way of the South Pacific islands, and back via the Aleutians, Alaska, and Canada. Hal’s flowing narrative and vivid photographs reveal the many ways in which this dream passage became a voyage of discovery. The two sailors learned to cope with everything from equipping their 35-foot sloop Whisper for a voyage of nineteen months to the perils of scalpel-sharp coral reefs and opaque fog. Roth’s gritty, authentic narrative underscores his singularability to explore the quintessential aspects of the human condition as revealed in a small boat at sea. Not content with surviving and thriving through 19,000 unpredictable miles at sea, Hal and Margaret decided to test their mettle against the most daunting stretch of water any sailor c
