Dave's experience shows that seakayaks can be an advantage in a SAR search. 
We are able to go where power boats cannot. Also there are obvious 
applications for kayaks in a swift water rescue. There are specific training 
courses for swift water rescues some of you may want to check out. One is 
offered by Rescue 3 International  www.rescue3.com

stay safe out there
