Solar Power for kayakers

Post by DaveWalsh » Wed Jun 17, 2015 3:14 pm

Anyone know anything about a small solar panel, enough to keep photographing etc, that can be used in connection with kayaking, i.e. salt water proof at some level ?

Hi Dave, this is a half an answer, I have seen them, a solar panel that spreads out on the deck of the boat whilst you are paddling or resting on a beach, so they do exist. Only thing is I cannot for the life of me remember where it was that I saw them. I will have a root in some spots later on, see if i can find them.

Thanks afinn.
The immediacy of my need just crashed and burned, unfortunately, but I retain an interest if you remember what you once knew.
