Kayak Visibility

Amen!! Luckily, night collisions between kayak and motorized boats are RARE. I had a close call of being run over by a motor boat during the day, and there were 4 people on the boat. Everyone had their attention on a group of fish while the boat veered my way while no one was steering it. It took several whistles to catch someone's attention.

If motor boaters can not see you during the day, how much more blind are they to you during the dark? Yup Kal-P-Dal, stay as visible as you can and know before hand what you will do in dangerous situations, like a boat coming your way in the dark...

Greets to Sweden from USA.

Been 35 years since I took the USCG Test, but as I remember a flashing yellow light is a Hovercraft. Yellow flare might be a submarine raising it's periscope.

Both would cause anyone who knows to run in the other direction. Maybe a good thing for a kayaker. Unless you are a kayaker and head towards another kayaker and find a Hovercraft comming your way.
