Color Matters
There have been several occasions when we have been headed to our slip at FBY at early dawn, or near sunset, when we have encountered kayaks (aka "speed bumps") far from shore. In these reduced light situations, it would help boat operators to see these craft if the paddlers would wear a bright color while underway. A dark kayak with a person wearing dark clothing is difficult to see in low level light conditions. We always turn far away, or reduce speed when meeting these folks. We also wave as we pass by. 🐻
