RE: [Paddlewise] Deck Storage (Humor)

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
