Cameras are one thing. I keep mine in a zip loc bag.

Gloves are another: personal. I use Neoprene Glacier gloves made for kayakers. I can fly fish (but I need to remove the glves for tying on flies and gear) and I row with them. They are by far the beat thing I have found. REI has them in the Kayak section. I figured if Kayakers like'em then rowers like me would like'em.
