[Paddlewise] Dessicants & DryBags

	Recent postings about the waterproofness of GPS units prompt my question.
Has anyone found a satisfactory dessicant for use with electrical gear, ie
radios, GPS, cellphones in drybags.
	I find temperature differences, and the marine environment generally can
mean a high level of humidity in drybags, even though they may look OK.  A
friend has suggested a cheap solution, using rice!  Has anyone tried this?
This part of the world can be super-humid, and I was suprised to find none
of our local electronic shops/ pharmacists etc.  can help with dessicant.
	
Cheers,
