When I visited Tiritiri Matangi Island in New Zealand, it started to
pour as soon as I got out on the trail. Since it was my last day in
NZ, I figured what the hell, I'd record till my gear quit. I held my
stereo mike (Fred Trumbull's Sony ECM-737) under the bill of my
baseball cap to keep the rain off, breathing -very- quietly. I got
some good stuff, rain forest birds with roaring wind and rain storm
background. Eventually, the Sharp MD locked up.
I dried it out with a hot air hand dryer at the airport, but it
didn't work again till I got home and cleaned out the membrane
switches. All my tracks were fine.
