Keeping stuff dry...........

I'm not expecting much room for the inevitable kitchen sink - that SWMBO will no doubt want"need"(!!) to bring so what do you use to put spare clothes in - this time of year ? The "drybags" ? If no room in any lockers - a couple of bungys to strap them down somewhere?

Can't help thinking there must be a better way?

- all ideas/experiences welcome!

Drysacks are good, especially if you can fit them in a seat pod or locker. Otherwise, you could do the clasp up around a seat backrest frame.

How'd you stop that Spanner from sliding off the table whilst underway?
