Thanks Jeff. I agree with your favorite order.

Sounds like we have very similar approaches to safety of the equipment. Thanks!My tips are similar to Dean's. My camera goes into a dry bag and into a hatch I have on my kayak. I stays there until I've launched and am stable on the water. Once I'm stable I take it out and put the camera strap around my neck. The strap is on the longish side so the camera sits in my lap between my legs. I take my 70-300 zoom with me. No lens changing on the kayak It's one of my favorite ways to go out with the camera.
Great set Dean! I am partial to the Hooded Merganser. I guess because of the surface perspective. All the images are great. The snake image definitely has some awesome color rendition.
Also, I have to comment on equipment safety. All previous comments are good. But I espeacially like Pete's idea the best. This past Friday I went to Elk Water Dam Reservoir in West Virginia for some kayak photography. It is a small lake with a lot of potential for wildlife and waterfowl. I entered a small inlet and scattered about two dozen Wood Ducks. Knowing they would eventually return, I tried to maneuver my kayak into a tight spot among a bunch of dead trees that were still in the water. I was in a hurry and being careless. I didn't place my camera rig into it's safe place but left it sitting on my lap (unstrappped to anything). As I was moving backwards, a low lying limb shoved me forward and the camera slipped off my lap and into the water so fast I didn't even get a chance to watch it sink. Duhhhh!!!!
@PJM's advice is spot on. His idea will fit my style perfectly. I not only replaced my equipment with new stuff (same rig, just new) but also acquired some Inland/Marine insurance from State Farm.
