Light for Kayak

anything submersible
If you bring or wear a pfd then you are preparing for the tiny, tiny chance you are in the water. I’d suggest getting something for that possibility and tether it to your pfd as it sounds more likely than running into another boat. PrincetonTec has a couple submersible flashlights that run on 4AAA or 4AA batteries for $20-$35. The problem with headlamps is that unless it’s tethered there’s a slight chance you’ll drop it in the water,and it sinks down glowing all the way. If it’s tethered and submersible, NOT WATERPROOF, then it’s with you and will be with you if you are in the water.

keep it up
Get the light, reflective tape your paddle, keep your eyes open, and stay out of the way of the local party barges. And enjoy the starlight.



Night paddling is wonderful.
