Here's a suggestion for you (and other potential members of the ECRP).
Perhaps you should have a covenant requiring that kayaks be tranported
stern first so that it is easier to recognize "fellow travelers" at
highway speeds. This may help to prevent an accidental wave to someone
with a ruddered Mariner. (Those can fool you!)  Just a thought...  :-)
