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.
