I read an article in Sea Kayaker about night paddling, and they each had a glow stick on thier PFD, in addition to a good flashlight for signalling. Would that be confusing to a passer-by? These guys were surfing, so perhaps it's a different scenario, but the glow stix allowed them all to know where each other was.
: No I'm not confused, just slow. So let's get this right, It's ok(legal) to
: paddle in the dark without any running lights but have a light available
: in order to prevent collision. OR
: red,green running lights with a white stern light of x degrees spread.
: I must have this wrong as this requires a lighting system mounted on the bow
: and stern of the kayak, nothing terribly wrong with that except that I
: don't know of any waterproof detachable red/green running lights. I mean
: waterproof as in submersible, the deck of a skiff or sailboat doesn't do
: what a kayak does!. Paddlling totally unlighted with a flashlight
: "ready to avoid collision" sounds mighty iffy and unsafe.
