ABSTRACT:
A fabric sleeve has a resilient, bouyant pad on one outward facing side thereof and a flap at one end of the sleeve for detachably securing the sleeve to the thwart of a small water craft such as a canoe. The blade of a paddle may be inserted into the sleeve to secure the blade when the craft is portaged, the pad serving to cushion the weight of the craft on the shoulder of a portageur. A closable pocket is suitably secured to the outside wall of the sleeve opposed to the pad, the device thereby serving to store small articles aboard the craft. Conveniently the fabric sleeve forms a common wall of the pocket and an enclosure for the pad.
