[Paddlewise] Down VS Synthetic

I am going to replace my 17 year old synthetic sleeping bag.  I live in
eastern Georgia, USA and mostly weekend camp near the coast.  A friend with a
lot of experience told me  to stay away from a down filled bag because it can
be a bear to dry out. Since it will be used kayak camping I have been looking
at the polarguard 3D bags.  Does this sound like the way to go in such a
relatively warm climate? Typical nights are 55F with a few in the low 30'sF
