I got to thinking about this and realized that I don't often eat when I'm
kayaking. Or drink much water for that matter. I've never been "needy" for
water even back when I played a lot of tennis or now when I kayak or
cross-country ski. And when I'm paddling I just don't think about food
unless I'm on a really long trip (which I don't do much of any more).

So, having said that, what I do eat when I paddle is usually the mundane:
energy bars, raisins, oranges, apples, bananas.IfI remember toget Oreos I'll
munch on those.  Cheese (Tillamook!) sandwiches are good, too. I do like the
tuna and flat bread idea though. I'll have to try that.

Kruger's cabbage is a great idea for longer trips. I love cabbage too. Easy
to cook on the muthah-ship and easy to carry along.

Oh... and if you get "good" beer (not Bud Light) it stays about the right
temperature when laid  against the hull in our 50F water temps. Caveat
beer-drinker as the good stuff mostly comes in bottles so one must take
mucho cuidado. Works best on a larger boat
