Ah, an archangel to the rescue. > What else do you want to carry?...Tell us what you have, maybe we can figure it out. Typical day hatch ingredients: First aid kit; camera; mobile phone; knife; tow line; specs container; sun glasses, sun cream; wool hat; neoprene hat; sun hat; face mask; torch; duct tape; two lengths of line; glow sticks; banana, apple, 600 ml gatorade; 600 ml water; Mars Bars or similar; cag. Place all this carefully in the day hatch in order before launching. Paddle out through surf. Do a few practice rolls before the end of the day, then try and locate a particular item. You are set up for the worst imaginable capsize, that is, one where you go over with your right arm deep inside the day hatch trying to find something on the far side of the compartment. Is there a one-hand-up-the-day-hatch roll?
