[Paddlewise] stuff on deck

The cover of the June issue of Sea Kayaker shows two decks loaded with
packs, sleeping pads, etc.  Surely this must seriously compromise the
handling of the boats, especially in wind.  Has anyone tried to roll with
decks loaded high with stuff?

I think it would be better to get a larger volume boat and keep the decks
clear.  Or take your narrow boat for shorter trips.
