Unfortunately, Robert, there's very little data in the public domain.  I've
tried the Coast Guard as a source for this kind of information before, but
have not had a lot of success in getting much data.

For Ken: nevertheless, I'd be happy to try again at USCG HQ in Washington, DC
if you want some help in the research; contact me off-net on this. please.
Another good source on data like this is Dr. Chuck Sutherland, who has written
a booklet on sea kayaking accident reports; you can reach him at 2210 Finland
Road, Green Lane, PA 18054. 

Good luck --- would be interested to know how/when you publish your results.
