Hopefully after reading this instructable, you will have a bit of a better idea on how to prepare your day touring kayak for water. Remember, if you are planning on ocean kayaking or paddling for multiple days, your packing list will vary. Also, remember that having even the best equipment will be of no help to you if you don't know how to use it.

Go to your local motor cycle dealership and purchase a net used to secure small objects on the luggage rack of a bike, thread your Yaks bungy cord thru the edges and re-attach the bungy cord and Vola!, a net on top of your boat that can hold stuff REALLY securly. MJMcDowell

I found a little net at Walmart in the sporting goods section for a motorcycle I think. It was just the right size and this is a great idea. It was cheep but I don't remember the price. Both Kayaks now support the net and hold my extra stuff.
