: I'm looking for a convenient place to stow a small(ish) camera. We
: are very flat water here (2-3 foot wind waves would be the
: absolute worst we're out in). I haven't really found a good
: solution for when I'm out in cold weather (and anything in the
: cockpit is under the skirt). Right now I stow the extra paddle
: and pump on the rear deck, and usually end up pulling my boots
: off and keeping them between my legs under the skirt. If I pull
: my jacket off, then I have to fight the skirt to stow the jacket
: under the deck. Really just looking for somewhere to throw the
: jacket, a camera, and maybe a water bottle and some snacks.

: I didnt' really think about it getting in the way though, I'll have
: to lash a boat cushion or something up there (front of cockpit)
: and see how close I come to it.

There's another possible problem with these things, they allow you to pack weight higher than the deck, can really negatively effect the stability.
