Sidney said in response to Steve's post: <snip> I think another point can be taken from this experience. The sea loves to remove poorly secured things from your deck. That is why I try to keep very little on my deck or ensure it is tethered. I keep my pump squeezed between my seat and the side of the kayak. -------------- (Great post Steve!). Securing one's hand held pump isn't that difficult to do but, if you want to spend money and be a true techno-weenie, Natural West Coat Adventure Gear had a great Cordura sleeve that velcroes the length of the pump. It has a clip for a tether line, and built in flotation so the pump cant sink either. Mine's bright red to match my PFD - stylin' bro! Color coordination and lots of gear makes for a safer paddler, right? Anyway, my hand pump is a backup to my footpump and/or for helping pump out another boat alongside me, etc. You can check out the Company at: <http://www.kayak.bc.ca./kayak_product/index.html> No picture on the site yet, but contact info there. It was about $10.00 Canadian. A neat little product from Canada, worth its price in gold (or silver in the USA!). I have no financial intrest in this company.
