On the advice of a couple of fellow listmembers I purchased a Sherpak 7
drybag/car top carrier made by Seattle Sports.  It is made of a very
heavy duty vinyl type material and is extremely rugged and well
constructed.  The dimensions match the Westy luggage rack perfectly.  We
used it on our April trip to Cape Cod and were very pleased.  Holds a ton
of stuff and everything stayed dry.  Highly recommended.

However it is out of production and is hard to find.  I found mine
through a web search and got the last one from the particular vendor I
ordered from.  Seattle Sports customer service was also very helpful via
email and suggested Oshmann's Sporting Goods should have some in stock
(as of January, 1999).

Have a great trip,

Tony
