Welcome Gary, we will be interested in hearing about your future
kayaking exploits.  There are a couple of others on the list who have
flown rescue and have shared some valuable information on color
visibility.  Be interested on your take on it.  Have a boat on order
with colors that may give it stealth ability- to everything but radar,
the metallic flakes will make it go crazy.

I knew an engineer who was instrumental in designing a fixed rotor for a
military helicopter for Boeing who would never go up in one- I, on the
other hand, always wanted to.
