G'day, I've followed the correspondence on visibility and most certainly don't want to decry the emphasis on selecting colours that can be easily seen. However, its my contention that no matter what their colour kayaks should be paddled as though they were invisible. They almost certainly are invisible to most other boat owners, even the responsible ones. With this in mind I should think one could generate quite a few rules of thumb for planning a safer paddle in crowded waters. I am concerned that the poor visibility kayakers present might give them a bad name in crowded waters. All the best, PeterO *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
