Hi All, 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. For the background of this card, as well as a graphic of the second version of the cards, go to: http://www.inlandseakayakers.org/safetycards.html Jody *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

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.
