The 3 kayaks and one canoe are used probably 5 hours between the four of them. And when is the last time a kayak crashed into an island at some ungodly hour of the early morning (and the maximum damage most likely would be a small scratch to the kayak)? And when was the last complaint against one kayak not giving into the right of way of the other kayak?
Yes we know occasionally a kayak blown away from a beach in the wind could be responsible for a massive search and rescue but I suspect wayward kayaks are responsible for a tiny fraction of the the MP's time and efforts.
