Usually, I'm a fair weather kayaker, just playing around while anchored out. But Sunday I did get stuck out in the pop-up rain that hit Gilford. The wind picked up for few minutes and there were some good size waves. It was all over in five minutes (except the rain) but it could have been worse. A little extra visibility couldn't hurt. I'm also thinking some bright tape for the paddle blades might help.
The stingray story makes no mention of maintaning a proper watch. His *** would be handed to him in court.
