It's tempting fate.You may place yourself in danger trying to save the camera.
I would suggest a water-resistant digital.They are about $150.
The Olympus Stylus was somewhat water-resistant when first made. Available at Goodwill from time to time, bought 1 for $2,25 and another was $5.05. Test them and see! A few rolls of film in plastic containers and the Ziploc type bag thing should be fine!

I went canoeing a few times, and on three trips, my canoe turned over. My Retina IIb got baptized each time, and it kept on working until it needed a CLA ten years later.
Keep your Leica home and take along a cheap camera with an excellent lens.

I have used bags from Sagebrush Dry Goods when kayaking. They are super bags, light weight, and water tight. I have used them successfully with my Nikon D700 and 70-200mm zoom lens as well as my smaller range finder. The link is here,www.sagebrushdrygoods.com. They make a super product for travel by water.
