In Response To: Off Topic: Sea kayaking etiquette (John Caldeira)

The CT Kayak club had an etiquette sheet that we produced. Two things that we always try to do is

1. not tie up launch ramps while launching. Boat owners usually are the ones paying the tax and registration and as kayakers we should try to get our acts together and launch quickly.

2. Fasten your spray skirt on in the water. If launching in a group, put in and paddle a few feet off the launch area and fasten your spray skirt on there and not tie up the launch area.

Don't leave your boat in the middle of the launch area while you get your car, blocking boat owners from using it.
