I have been using a GARMIN III for a couple of yeras now and have not had a problem with rust so far. However I do try not to dunk it. However this year I have found a really nice and inexpensive accesory from Voyageur - it is a foam padded, floating, drybag style case for my GPS. I have been using it all spring and find it does indeed solve the waterproof problem very nicely. Now if I could find something comparable for my VHF.

It will not work with the larger handheld radios, but they do include an area for the antenna. Unfortunately they do not show it on their web page, but it is in their catalog. I have seen one in person in the Country Canoeist (Dunbarton, NH), I would assume that any of the shops that carry Kajak Sport products would have some. It might be worth checking out. Mike (Who is now looking for a smaller VHF) -- Paddling along through fog so thick that only one's thoughts are visible, your reverie is abruptly shattered by the ancient cry of a great blue heron as she lifts uncertainly from the brilliant blue of a mussel-shell beach witnessed only by the brooding, wet spruce....your passage home seems as much back through time as it does through space.
