G'Day Alex,

Sorry it was the vinyl bag you suggested. I've tried a bag that looked very
similar. Do you know if the one advertised has any tendency to leak when
submerged? The one I tried was capacious and strong but tended to leak and
could fill up with significant amounts of water after rolling the kayak.
Since then I've had a preference for not keeping anything on the deck but am
comfortable with a net bag when necessary, the commercial ones are
functional, secure, but not strongly made and are overpriced. Mostly I store
food on deck and put safety gear in a waterproof pack in the back pocket of
my PFD.

All the best, PeterO
