NYCkayaker Captain and Paddlers Day at Pier 66

[Lyn Goldsmith]

One other thing that came out loud and clear at the meeting.

All the captains REALLY like it when we have the red and green lights on our
kayaks.  They say that even though the lights are close together that it
immediately identifies us as a vessel.

The  Human Powered Boating Group (was that the name??) was given credit  for
the work they did showing and publishing this several years ago.
