Re: [Paddlewise] Kayak Lights

Here in Denmark the brochure from agency of sea-safety specifies red/green
to the sides, and white at aft.
However, if the vessel is less than 7 meters moving less than 7 knots and it
is practically impossible to carry such light, a white lantern with
visibility of 2 nautical miles must be carried.

I interpret this to mean that a white light means an anchored vessel, or a
small slow vessel. Other vessels can therefore NOT assume white to mean
anchored

For kayakers, it is possible to get head mounted lanterns.
