hi

SOmeone asked about packing a kayak for 7 days. Check out Chris Duff's solo 
navigation or his recent circumnavigation of Iceland with Shauna Franklin and 
Leon Some' (postings are on www.bodyboatblade.com). These were month long trips 
and nothing was carried on front or rear decks besides spare paddles and 
cameras. 

My experience with stuff on decks is they all disappear when in the surf. I 
teach a clean deck paddling philosophy. Spare paddle only. Water bottle (but I 
always lose them in the surf) and a camera. Also makes rescue easier.

happy and safe paddling
