[Paddlewise] Water protection

No, I am not asking about wetsuits, drysuits, or "fuzzy rubber" . . . . but I 
have been thinking about water protection.  Here's a couple of questions for 
the Paddlewise panel of experts.

First, what's good way to laminate reference materials for use underway?  I'm 
thinking about small charts, tide tables, inspirational anecdotes from 
Paddlewise -- anything that might prove useful on the water.

Second, what kind of thermometer is best to use for measuring water temps and 
what are some good sources?  I've checked a few of the more obvious outdoor 
and marine retail outlets and come up empty.

Cheers,
