That might be easier to pack and deploy if needed, like in the wind/swell situation you described.

Hey man, thanks!

Yeah, that would be better because a bag would mold itself nicely to the bottom and your center of gravity would be even lower. I have been known to keep a few celebratory alcoholic beverages in that cooler which were eventually replaced with fish!
