The Krill light may be an excellent alternative to the light I carry now,
which is clipped to my PFD.  It's the regulation white, but it didn't work
when I needed it.  Why? I don't know. I think I had left the light on my
jacked too long.  Must have been a bit of corrosion on the contacts.  I
believe the light needs a little care and maintenance after a paddle in salt
water; maybe daily maintenance!

Like the little air horn that was clipped to my PFD.  It wouldn't blow when
wet.  I happened to test it when wet.  Nothing but a sputtering spitting
hiss of air came out.  I tested later when dry.  The horn worked fine.

Moral I guess is:  Test equipment... clean equipment after use... and be
sure you have a good whistle.
