-But what´s the problem with Aquapac? Is it the lock or another damage in
the
foil? Or might it be dewdrops?-

Thanks for the suggestions re dry bags for a VHF. My two Aquapacs (and
another I have seen) split open at the seams. A combination of material used
and design, I suspect, as the lanyard attachment places a lot of tension on
the bag.

Since the last one failed I have been using my VHF 520 sans bag. As a result
corrosion has started on the exposed screws, despite a wash after every
paddle. I should point out that I get wet every paddle. This is the reason
for deciding to go back to the bag. With no suggestions to the contrary, the
Boundary Bay Kayaks VHF Protector might be the one.

Must go, night has fallen and the sea beckons.

Cheers
