I kinda like the light-inside-the-kayak for plastic yaks. An orange kayak would have a nice glow on Halloween evening. You could even leave it on the lawn with a light on in it and pumpkin head atop sans helmet for decorative effect. Not sure what would happen if two paddlers were out in the late evening, one with a glowing red plastic kayak, and one with a red glowing kayak. Might confuse the skipper of an approaching vessel... Me, no lights at night, incognito, go to places where other boats don't frequent.

Good point! If you're paddling close enough to the rocks and waves, a motorboat's got bigger troubles than a kayaker frantically waving his Eveready at you. Course, you still might not live to watch him realize the error of his ways. I love that word "incognito", I'm going to be saying it all day long for no appropriate reason! -----Original Message----- Behalf Of Doug Lloyd Me, no lights at night, incognito, go to places where other boats don't frequent.
