I now need hatch covers ASAP. :-) Please let me know if the group buy will be on if not I will see if I can track down the Kayajaksport version that are made for Valley boats.

It looks like I should be in the market for hatch covers for the Q boat.

I wouldn't worry about washing it too much.

We all have had bad days of one sort or another.

Great job.

I rather work This looks like fun and like much less of a PIB:

Wow that looks like a lot of work.

Another shark rescue

I have the pager, another nice weekend where I can't paddle.

I have taken one 3 day swift water rescue class so far. I am looking to take another one this spring. Swift wate rescue classes are a ton of fun and really help build/reenforce the skills that we should have on the water. I was shocked that the rescue wasn't done. I can't get over that someone spent the time to video it but not to drop the camera and help him. It looks like his friends don't have the proper training. It's a great what not to do video. I am very surprised that they let the video see the light of day.

I love my KS hatch coverts. If I had valey ones I would have to join the group buy.

I still can't get over that they didn't attach to him and get him out. Just letting him slide though the under cut is really bad. That's why rescue PFD's have shoulder straps that one can attach to.

Sounds like a great trip!

Sounds like a great trip!

I look forward to part two! :-)

She is attempting to get her post count up, not much more until she will hit the 1K mark.

I should be able to make it.

Nice! Someone had told me that the book was moving to electronic only. On a side note the current IOS application doesn't fully work with IOS 8.0 or greater (you can't enter your App Passcode etc). They will be releasing a new version of the MITA application next month that will fix the issue.

I don't know if we could ever get 500 kayakers together at once on the east coast for any cause. It was very colorful. http://www.canoekayak.com/news/photos-of-seattles-kayak-protesters/

Correction I based my post was comparing the gardian light to the Arc C-Light: https://www.acrartex.com/products/catalog/rescue-and-distress-lights/c-light-with-c-clip/#sthash.s1bhkwPs.dpbs I purchased a couple of them over the years, the most recent one is dead and no longer attached to my pfd. It seems that it's not a proper strobe, I treated it like it was one, reserving it for emergency use thus my references to it in the post.

I find that the little one that Rob picked are much better than the old school orange ones. The orange ones based on an incandescent bulb, if you leave standard AA non-lithium batteries in them they tended to corrode and fail after just a couple of seasons. The one Rob picked is LED based, are brighter have a very long run time. For my $0.02 would go with current technology, it's smaller (less likely to get hung up on things in rescues) and works much better. The gaskets on the ones I received were your normal O rings just like the ones in the orange AA based strobes. The ones I picked up last year have a more secure clip than the picture in his link, hopefully the picture is wrong and that they didn't change the mount.

You might update your order to include a 2nd one in red:

Now we need to learn how they liked the food. If they liked it we then need to know if you are going to spin this up into a business. :-)

I just ordered a http://kokatat.com/products/pfd/maximus-centurion.htmlwith a hydration pack for the back.
