Kayakers need to own trying to be safe. I try to do my part by minimizing time in boat lanes and my bright colors. A dark kayak doesn't help. There's a guy who fishes from a kayak in front of Shep's in the evening and he's hard to see. His kayak may be bright colored but at that time of day you can't tell. Where he's out in a busy area he could do a better job owning his situation. He could use an all-around light or maybe just get off the water when it gets dark. So yes we kayakers could do a better job.
