Perhaps the care and feeding of dry bags is widely understood and I'm just burning up band width here but ... to keep water out, the closure must be rather meticulously effected. After the excess volume is expunged, the sides that mate should be smoothly coapted and stay so throughout the entwining. Wrinkles, gaps and slack in the roll are anathema. I find it helpful, once three or more tight wraps have been snugged , to give one side an extra twist before the buckle is engaged. This ensures that the rolls won't be loosed and precludes the entry of brine into the protected kit. ;-) Larry Koenig *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************
