Happy Millinium, I want to imphasize that, with our kayaks looking like logs-on-the-water, a bright hat (along with bright paddle blades) is one of the best visibility enhancers available to us.

A dark day in Y2K After being unable to locate my favorite boonie hat -- all cotton, formerly a medium green but now faded nearly grey -- I went paddling this weekend wearing a baseball cap. That evening, while putting out the trash, I found my hat, discarded without ceremony by my wife. "You need a new hat. That one is horrible. It was falling apart and it is too small." True, the color is gone, the sweat band is frayed away, the brim is falling apart. Salt water had been at work too long. I looked sadly at it, and closed the lid on my old friend. Its time had gone. jerry.
