Wade,
For flatwater paddling, I keep Garmin 12XL in a clear waterproof GPS bag either
around my neck on a lanyard or in my front shirt pocket (still secured with a
lanyard). I have the unit in the bag upside down so it's right side-up when I
read it (which I do frequently for bearings as well as distance, speed, and
estimated time of arrival).

Around the neck wear would not be a good idea for whitewater, however.
