christopherG Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 I have just had a call from Al Johnson, who is a Commander in the USCG, in charge of Recreational Boating Safety in this district, whom many of you remember from our session with USCG Merrimac a year or so ago.This coming Saturday the CG at Boothbay Harbour want to do some more experimentation with radar, being the basis for an article to be published on kayak visibility. Are there two or three kayakers who would like to be available to put-in at the USCG station and generally enjoy the area before the cold sets in? You will doubtless be asked to paddle with various devices or in differring configurations of reflectability...It sounds fun for the right person: I am already committed elsewhere. I am sure they'll look after you -- they might even feed you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccarlson Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 Brian, SMSKN has some info on their site smskn.org Looks like they're going to be on the water at 9AM at the Boothbay CG station and will be needing targets for an hour or two. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
