If I had a way to remote trip the point and shoot I take, I would have mounted it and used it.  My son also wanted a GoPro, and promised to pay half.  We'll see if I ever get it, but it made my wife feel better about the purchase!
It seems I can only attach 2 photos to a post, so I will make a few more posts showing pics of the camera on the canoe, and the case.
