I know what you mean. Even the Coast Guard can't agree.

I for one am not looking for any more reasons to have the Coast Guard 
chase me down because somebody on shore thinks I a look like a boat in 
distress.
Adding a strobe would just increase the calls to the coast guard and 
paddlers already have a bad enough reputation as it is.

Kayaking, as I know it, is a swimming sport, and the kayak a prosthesis to make the swimming faster, safer, warmer, and more capable in difficult conditions. Kayaks and paddles enhance our swimming ability in the same way that skis enhance our running capability on slopes covered with snow. -- Dan Segal
