I was out paddling this morning and while I was enjoying the quiet and
solitude, I was also thinking that a little Pacabel's Canon or Pastorale
would go down nicely. Is there a good way to keep an iPod dry in a (flat
water) kayak, or is that a really bad idea all round?

I suspect that it would be somethig of a bad idea, although it is only
a matter of time before someone starts making a waterproof casing for
the iPod along to lines of the mobile phone ones currently available.

In the mean time, use something less expensive, like an old walkman,
or one of the usb memory stick based devices, then even if you get it
wet it isn't a massive loss.

I suspect the solidstate mp3 player would survive the occasional dunking
in a way that the HD based mp3 players won't.
