[Paddlewise] placing a VHF call from a kayak

Hi All,

The Canadian (and perhaps international) marine radio communication
protocol requires the calling party to supply own call sign and the
boat name.  I am not sure what should I use when calling from a kayak
using a handheld VHF radio. I don't have a call sign and the name of
my kayak (White Fang) is not registered anywhere. Do you think this
should do it:

"Tofino Coast Guard, this is Sea Kayaker. Over"

Vic.
