Especially on a 1:00 a.m. paddle. I've posted about an incident that I was involved with here before but essentially I was doing a full moon paddle with a group when most the paddlers had head lamps. Flashing them at a boat that was approaching in our direction didn't seem to make a difference. When he was about 200' away and still on a collision course I blew my Fox Storm whistle as loud as I good and that finally got the boat operators attention.. The powerboat wasn't going fast but he obviously wasn't watching where he was going either. For those that have plastic boats, placing a bright flashlight inside the cockpit lights up the boat rather nicely, especially if the boat is yellow.
