Hi Garry,

I don't know what the "standard" is for sea kayaks, but your suggestion is as good a one as I've heard. I'm reading Sea Kayker's Deep Trouble right now and it seems that time and again hatch covers and bulk heads failed in crushing seas, leaving the cargo as the only floatation - and often saving lives.

So, over and above ensuring a dry sleeping bag, the double bagging may actually be a very effective safety feature.

Have a great Holiday and happy paddling.
