Ropes and clips, dry boxes, paddle leases, and glasses cords… definitely good things to have.

If you have boxes and clips to fasten the stuff to your boat like I do… and you still lose a camera… like I did… well… you learn. Some lessons are hard… you have to use the stuff to make it work ;-p

Last time around I got a waterproof camera and floating strap in florescent orange… my guess is that will fix the prob… taking it out of the case 30 times per trip had just gotten too annoying and I got lax. Sometimes is just better to pay extra for the RIGHT solution.

P.S. Keep your cords short.. if you have 3 dry bags and you tip… you don’t want to be getting all tangled up in them… short cords… and clips.
