To keep your clothing and equipment dry and free of
salt, you will need to fit everything into waterproof
dry bags or plastic cases. These are available at most
paddling stores. Cascade Designs make a few lines of dry
bags. We recommend either the clear See bags or colored
Baja bags. Size 20 is the largest that will fit into the
kayak’s hatches. A few smaller ones are better than one
large one. Pelican Products produce a fine line of
waterproof cases for cameras, binoculars, sunglasses
etc. Test your packing before you leave
Storage space is limited and most people tend to
bring more than they really need. Most days you will be
paddling in shorts and a T-shirt. Long sleeves and pants
will shield the sun. A fleece jacket and a toque are
needed on cool nights. Quick dry clothing is
recommended. |
