@ChickenCanoe I still need one for my sleeping bag, my phone, and identification, plus a small one for a set of clothes if they won't fit with my mummy bag.

He looks very nice.

A SealLine Baja 20 size dry bag should be sufficient for a set of clothes, phone and ID. You could probably do with the next size smaller. You may need the next size up for the sleeping bag. I have a 10 liter clear bag I really like for a few clothes and small things I need to be able to tell where they are without too much digging around. I think they're called an Eco-See dry bag.
Call a REI store and get their advice on that.

double zip locks for telephone.
your length of trip does not need a change of clothes, most backpackers going light weight for one or two nights don't bother, always buy "warm when wet clothing", polar fleece will save your life and give you a change if needed, no cotton !!!!!

That's excellent advice. I canoe much more frequently than backpack so space isn't as critical but I do try to minimize size and weight.

I have a friend that works at a REI in TX if you want his store's number and work schedule, he works in the area that has canoes and kayaks

That would be the way to go. I have a friend at one in Santa Barbara that is a footwear expert if anyone needs one of those.

use 30 lbs. as a goal, you won't enjoy the trip if you go over 40 lbs.

That's cool. We may not get down there till 10 or 11 anyway.
I sent you a PM with my number.

I've been getting a flurry of scam calls on my cell. Sometimes 10 or more a day. Quite annoying.
I let them go to my voice mail and just realized it may be making matters worse because they then know it is a real #.

I started answering them as "Cook County Police Department, what is your emergency?
They always hang up.
