Hey all, when I paddle with my camera, I usually just jam it down my PFD. Someone recently mentioned the idea of putting velcro on the deck and the back of the camera (and obviously using a tied in point). Has anyone tried this? I was thinking that mounting it behind the cockpit would keep it out of the way, but readily accessible. I have tried using the deck bungies, but the camera shape (Canon AS-1 or whatever), makes it next to impossible to keep it there. Maybe I should just mount it on a baseball cap. -Patrick *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

Looking for practical suggestions for a short paddling trip into Lake Superior Provincial Park. I will be detouring by car up from Sault Ste. Marie in late May for a day or so and am wondering about parking, landing, embarcation points, suggested itineraries, etc. (even favorite diners or picturesque motels). I am already familiar with Lake Michigan and Huron paddling conditions for that time of year and will compensate accordingly for much colder water and rougher seas. Also, do you know how paddling, sightseeing, and camping conditions compare between LSPP and Pukaskwa? Thanks.

I used to keep it under a bungie on my foredeck until I started rolling, but all too frequently it would slip out when I turned upside down, dangle at the end of its leash, and get in the way of the paddle during the roll. One thing to remember about Velcro is that it doesn't hold as well when wet as when dry, so if you go that route, be sure to put a leash on your camera.
