NYCkayaker How Do You Keep Your Cameras Dry?

[David Walker]

I bought an inexpensive watertight plastic case (~$20) from a local  
(Atlanta local) dive shop.  I think I have also seen them at Boaters  
World or West Marine in the past. Its maybe 9X6X5 inches or so.  My  
camera (an Olympus C5060z) fits inside.  To cushion it from being  
banged around and to soak up any water that might inadvertently leak  
in, I put some kitchen sponges in all around the camera which fit  
perfectly in this box.  I also glued some outfitting foam to the  
outside so that if I'm rolling or what have you and the box, which I  
would keep in the cockpit in front of me, rolls around, it won't bang  
around.  Anyway, it works great.  I want to get the new sprayskirt that  
I read about in a New Products section of a recent kayak magazine issue  
which has a waterprrof zipper on the deck so you can quickly get to  
whatever is in your cockpit without removing the skirt.
