There are many kayakers that LOVE Nature and who gain great pleasure
Getting Close to it. ... ie. sneaking up on it. With big ORANGE flags flying, not only will the boaters SEE them...but Nature will SEE them as well... ie. the Loons, Moose, Bears, and even the totally hated and maligned Geese and Ducks...
SO: The
Unintended Consequences of the big orange flag will be that NATURE will be long gone by the time you paddle your butt over to where they WERE.
Another thought: I wonder if a Bull Moose would be inclined to CHARGE at the unarmed kayaker flying a fluttering Orange flag.... like a Bull charging the Red Cape.
