If you can find a nice dry-bag which matches your deck -- which is easy with, say, a folding-boat which is all fabric already -- it makes a fairly decent deck bag, which you can tether with a bungee and store underneath your chart holder beside your chart. You can size the bag to keep just a few items, it stores mostly flat, and you won't be tempted to keep lots of things where they don't belong. Most deck bags are enormous, with endless pockets, zippers, compartments, bladders, etc. I don't think it would be very practical to keep fifteen items on hand. Accessories for boats seem to be designed with the principle that more features means better. Two pockets are better than three, etc. But, it's easy to design something complicated, it's not as easy to design something simple. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
