Re: [Paddlewise] camera storage

I have a Minolta waterproof to 33ft camera. I usually carry it
with the bildge pump in a bungie inside the hull. 

When the sea is rough, I can not take any photographs because taking
off my spray skirt and getting my hands off the paddle gets to be risky.

I have tried tying the camera in the front deck bungies, but I keep
hitting it with the paddle. 

The best solution seems to be tying the camera in the aft deck bungies,
tethered with a bungie cord. Many of the photographs I have taken have
water drops in the lenses, though.

my two cents,
