Paddleboarding is hugely popular here in south Florida, so I did a double-take when I saw this image in Recreation magazine (Vol. 47, Sept. 1912, p. 75; available via Google Books). But, as I read the brief accompanying article and examined the images more closely, I realized something a bit different was going on. I love the choice of attire. Obviously they were very optimistic about staying dry!
History, genealogy, antiques, and general sleuthing are some favorite pastimes. Have traveled the world but always seem to come back to my roots.
