John,

Don't forget to add the following to your list.

If you don't paddle in the ocean, than you're not part of the kayaking
community.

If you don't carry a VHF, than you're not part of the kayaking community.

If you don't carry flares, than you're not part of the kayaking community.

If you don't carry a tow line, than you're not part of the kayaking
community.

If you don't carry a spare paddle, than you're not part of the kayaking
community.

If you don't wear a skirt, than you're not part of the kayaking community.

Thought of while popping some Advil after my non-kayaking weekend with my
16'10" Gulfstream which is not a kayak because it's less than 17' long and
is 1/4" too wide---and contemplating taking my SOT out soon now that the
water is approaching 60.
