Walt, I carry loads of photographic nonsense on my kayak and I carry
much of it in a Pelican case design for a company called LowePro.  It's
called an "Omni Sport" and comes in, I think, three sizes the smallest
of which fits nicely on the rear deck.  LowePro's (Pelican) small case
contains a padded camera bag with waist belt and shoulder strap and has
enough room for camera, flash, lens, film & more.  The largest of these
cases, is luggage sized and also contains a padded camera 'suitcase' but
is too large for any kayak I might want to paddle.

Like all Pelican cases, they're water proof if handled with any
reasonable care, and the internal camera bags give them added advantage
when you turn back into a bi-ped.  If I could get Matt or John Winters
to add something to the larger case in order to give it some directional
stability, I might even try to paddle it as a sit-on-top when I'm just
out for pic's!

BTW Joan, I'll finally be settled in Virginia as of Friday.

[SNIP]

One of our local paddlers has done some interesting modifications to 
his Romany Explorer including mounting a Pelican case flush on the 
fore deck. Nice little idea. Now his bright pink big-boot bubbles are 
another story...
