Sounds cool--let me know how well it works!

Hmm...I wonder if I can make one before I go to the coast in 1.5 weeks.....

You'd obviously have to open your sprayskirt to get into it, so it wouldn't be as good as a deck bag in rough water. However, deck bags really get in the way, so it's probably a good compromise.
