A couple of easy storage ideas for inside your cockpit-<div>A. Attach a bungee net under your deck, usually to pad eyes added where above-deck attachments are now, of perhaps just to the existing hardware under your deck.</div><div>B. Install (easy) an "under-deck bag" (large about 6" diameter or smaller about 6" wide by 2" deep. These slide out, toward you, when you want to get your stuff.</div><div>C. Use a spray deck/skirt with an under deck (just above your lap/legs) large pocket, or a pocket or dry storage compartment on the top of the skirt/deck (as opposed to on the body tube, which is often covered by your PFD and less inviting).</div><div>D. Or just use a low profile, tightly secured above deck bag (waterproof or not).</div><div><br></div><div>All of these work great, depending on how you fit in your cockpit and what you want/need to carry. None of them, installed properly by design, should impede your entry/exit from your kayak under any circumstance. I have used all of them (except the new skirts with a waterproof hatch in the deck) and love the concept of under-deck storage for some things. Others are best stored in a bag on your deck. Just think through what works for you.</div><div><br></div><div>Joanne Schwartz</div><div><br><div><div>On May 9, 2008, at 8:23 AM, Beverly Waldron wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><br><div>I also would like to store some things in my cockpit for easy access during a paddle, but there are no attachment places in my Capella 161. </div><div><br></div><div>Therefore, I was wondering if there was some type of velcro or suction cup mesh bag (??) that could be attached under the front deck inside the cockpit.</div><div><br></div><div>Does anyone have any suggestions?</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you</div><div>Bev<br><br><div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Palatino; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><div>Beverly Waldron</div><div><a href="mailto:bwaldron@impulse.net">bwaldron@impulse.net</a></div><div><br class="khtml-block-placeholder"></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></span> </div><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">_______________________________________________</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Info mailing list</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><a href="mailto:Info@list.ckf.org">Info@list.ckf.org</a></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><a href="http://list.ckf.org/mailman/listinfo/info">http://list.ckf.org/mailman/listinfo/info</a></div> </blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
