Very important subject, PO. 100 percent of our paddling is on the ocean which can be any colour from sky blue to dark grey - and there's a lot of fetch in the Salish Sea. As you may have seen from pics in our last posting, we can spend part of the time on the water deep in the troughs. We paddle defensively (the way we drive) and assume that we are difficult to see and so do all that we can to stay out of potential "confliction" with other vessels. We carry smoke, flares, and wear a ton of reflection. Reflective tape on the sides of our boats can also be seen when upside down. We also carry marine VHF etc. Even with all the "safeguards" in place, we're still the "smallest fish in the sea" - and we know it. As you well know, we simply can't be too careful in such an unforgiving (but magnificent) environment.

Duncan.
