In Response To: Re: I read the rules... and learned something (LeeG)

I have followed this thread with only moderate interest as I seldom paddle at night and never in traffic areas. However, I fail to see how displaying a white 360 degree light would do any harm. Granted the kayak isn't at anchor but is traveling so slow it it would probably appear to be to a power vessel. Isn't the purpose of the light to make yourself visable to other vessels and thus avoid collision?

: Now that's exactly how I interpret it,,paddle dark and unlit with a strong
: flashlight (2-4C cell dive light, 4-AA halogen light) and NOT in any
: traffic way OR the red/green/270white light.
