RE: [Paddlewise] Sleeping bags for kayaking

Something to take into account in SE Alaska besides temperature is
water.  With all of the rain that we get sooner or later ALL of your
gear is wet to one degree or another on just about any trip longer than
a couple of days.  Southeast Alaska is a temperate rain forest and
although one can get lucky (very) and have a trip filled with clear
skies it's usually more prudent to count on rain and plan for everything
to get soaked.  The temps here in the summer time are usually quite
moderate; lows in the high 40's to 50's and daily highs rarely reaching
above 70F - a nice light to mid weight synthetic bag does the trick for
me.
