It's useful for landings, finding gloves that slipped off the deck, checking the number on an unlighted can buoy, seeing which way the kelp is laying in the current, etc. My only objection to them is that they inevitably interfere with my night vision. Maybe it's just me but when I turn them on or off I go through a period of slight problems with balance. (I've also noticed that I can't spin around many times any more either.) If the water had a white line and a curb a headlamp would be awesome. Even so, they're worth having. Just as long as you don't have an obsession that makes you turn and look at me when you talk to me. :P Craig Jungers Moses Lake, WA www.nwkayaking.net *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
