Re Philip's question on PFDs, also check out Lotus' new "Strait Jacket", designed for sea kayaking. An excellent jacket, the best I've seen or used. See it at the Nantahala Outdoor Center site, <www.nocweb.com>. USCG-approved, $109 (US) list, and a really good sea kayaker vest. (My son was a guide there, and virtually all the people he knows now use Lotus vests --- excellent variety, workmanship and materials.) Standard disclalimer --- no connection, other than as a user!)
