G'Day, I remember once having nothing but a deck bag on the deck. Secured by bungee cords. When I came to do a roll nothing worked, it was as if the deck was anchored to the sea floor. The bag had filled with water and as I rolled it slipped off the deck acting as a very effective "sea anchor" holdng me upside down. Holding the bag in place with rigid cord would have been OK but these days I travel with only a vhf, spare paddles, map and sometimes water on the deck. All the best, PeterO *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
