Whether drybagged or not, hard-points inside the hull can be useful.  Sort 
of what I had in mind earlier.  NRS (and others:  Western Canoeing and 
Kayaking in Abbotsford, BC) sell these things:  http://tinyurl.com/3kl8kh 
), which I have found invaluable for strapping gear, in bags or not, to the 
insides of my boats.  Note that the two-part adhesive stipulated at the 
link is not an epoxy, and that it works on a variety of surfaces. 
Scotch-Weld is good stuff.  Google "Scotch-Weld 3532" for more info.

Multiple lanyards are an entrapment/tangle hazard.  Not the best idea.
