Paddle: Spare paddle

What do you guys use as a spare paddle on a kayak for day cruising? If my health continues to improve I should be able to get back into some longer treks this year.

I don’t really have space on my kayaks or in my solo canoes for my other double paddle, it's a one piece and the two-piece is the one I would normally use. I have several single-bladed paddles - one of those would allow me to chase down the double should I somehow manage to toss it away, or to get me someplace safe if I break it, although it's embarrasing to admit on a kayaking forum that I know how to J-stroke . . .

Maybe I should put a ferrule on the one-piece double-bladed paddle . . .

I suppose I really should have at least one paddle per boat, I'm nowhere close - perhaps I should make a storm paddle.
