I was at a seminar last spring where it was suggested that we should carry a tube style radar reflector on our kayaks. His suggestion was that we strap it under our deck lines. This would make them more visible on a radar screen. I pondered this after the seminar, and wonder about the merit of this suggestion. On the deck of a kayak, the tube is only a few inches above the water level. Wouldn't it still look like random surface scatter? Thoughts? This is one version of the product I am talkingabout. I provide this as an example, not an endorsement: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mobri-S-2-sailboat-radar-reflector-radar-brand-new_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ66Q3a2Q7c65Q3a1Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1318Q7c301Q3a0Q7c293Q3a1Q7c294Q3a50QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem160329781016QQitemZ160329781016QQptZBoatQ5fPartsQ5fAccessoriesQ5fGear *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
