[Paddlewise] sprayskirt and dry/semi-dry top

Because I live in Florida, I have never needed a dry top, but I am curious: Do
you place your sprayskirt (neoprene) under or over your top? The whitewater
kayaking I have done has been at NOC during the summer, and I never needed much
insulation. Using the neoprene skirt, I would think that having the neoprene
against your body would provide a much better seal and thus reduce the amount of
water getting in your boat. If that's the case, then how do dry tops seal
against the sprayskirt?
