Do you Pricestavern have any comments about using a safety flag on a sea kayak?
The sailboats that almost run you down in your sea kayak - are they going close to or over the proposed new speed limits?

Kayakers love water --- Boaters love people |
As a paddler who frequently is kayaking on the busy waters of Long Island Sound, I am definitely going to be purchasing a flag for those times I'm in areas where I could be in hazard's way. It's exactly the kind of thing I've been looking for. I've considered crossing the Broads in my kayak but the lack of visibility issue has kept me on the sides. That being said, even with a flag I'm going to assume no one sees me and be on my guard.
As for the boats with those big sails; they're overpowered so what do you expect?
