As Chuck Holst already wrote, our sea kayak club, Inland Sea Kayakers, published a hard plastic card. One side has kayak safety gear and the other side has proper VHF radio procedures. Weems & Platt (is that right spelling?) make a sticker that lists the procedures for calling as well as a short list of channels (recreational, etc.) which I have stuck on my hardshell boats just fore of the cockpit. I have made my own cards with the list of useful channels on one side and a Beaufort Scale on the other which I attach to the handle of the waterproof bags that I keep my "waterproof" radios in. Not nearly so nice as what the MN folks have done, but handy nonetheless. I have also made a couple of cards for identifying animal tracks and for estimating distance off by how trees and things look. Wish I still worked at the office that had that laminator.
