Make sure you are seen on the water. Even in bright, calm conditions a kayak can be nearly invisible. It is especially difficult for power-driven vessel and large vessel operators riding high in the water to see kayaks. Choose bright colours such as red, yellow or orange for your flotation device and kayak. Also, remember to keep signalling devices within hand�s reach in case of emergency.

Vessel: Paceship Eastwind "William Bligh" 25' LOA Embarking Point: The Maine Yacht Center, 100 Kensington Rd, Portland, Maine. I can't cover any of your costs either to or from the boat, sorry. This will have to be for fun or adventure for whatever that's worth. I would like someone to act as an assistant helmsman and lookout while I'm asleep while we sail south to Virginia. 22 Jan 2008. Duties are basically to share whatever basic things we have to do, to behave as civilized human beings do, but to try to have a good time. Victualling, which I assume means food, we'll visit the grocery store before we leave Maine and try and split costs.
