I ruined several award winning photos :-)  this way until I learned a trick.  Lick the lens with your tongue just before taking the picture.  Works pretty well.

I keep my waterproof Minolta in a deck bag made for my Feathercraft.  (I used to keep it under the deck bungies, but I kept hitting with my paddle as well.  Then I "adjusted" my stroke so I wouldn't hit it and started getting shoulder and elbow pains.  I seem to have less of a problem with it in the deck bag -- more or less centered.)
