pfffft
What I proposed is ABOVE the legal requirements.
… and can be seen for a MILE
(many boat docks here have them)
… and stays ON all the time (unlike the legal minimum required flashlight)
… and there are a PAIR of them
… and each is MUCH LARGER (and more visible) than any of those little … ‘clip on your vest’ battery powered ‘wand’ lights many other night paddlers wear.
beat that
(as if)
… and thats very ‘cute’ of you to assume you have more traffic … I live in a state with one of the two highest qty of boat registrations in the US … in a county with more lakes than probably any other county in the state … on the busiest lake INNN that county (by far).
… the county sheriff water patrols constantly refers to my lake like its Hades through a kaleidoscope … as THE lake where the craziest stuff is always happening.
… there are a few 100mph PLUS (illegal) boats here.
traffic on warm NIGHTs here is heavy
… don’t worry though … somebody will probably be selling my idea soon enough.
… a two colored shade on the front one would meet even your worry wart bend over backwards requirements.
