[Paddlewise] Bright orange banners

I have two of the banners, one is the 6 inch and the other is a 12 or 16
inch.  I found them on sale because they, like flares, have expiration
dates.  Since I carry other devices to meet my obligation to have current
daytime devices and I don't think the banners will, with age, have an
increased probability of failure, on long trips, I keep one attached to the
stern of my boat as a safety device.
