Re: Yachts and Kayaks Crossing
Its a good question. Everyone has a duty to avoid collision and near misses. Perhaps its a good idea to be sure of one's ability to hold a Give Way position before starting a crossing. There's an interesting discussion on a Cruiser forum here https://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/f57/colregs-vessel-u...

Re: Standard Horizon hand held vhf - not picking up signals
Are you looking for your marine weather info on WX channels? NOAA provides a good map of NWR transmitter locations but only for US not Canada.

Re: Insurance and qualifications
OP asks why "clubs need to worry about insurance". It's not just clubs that ought to have cover. Those of us who mostly paddle alone need it too. In my area (North coast of Northern Ireland) the local authority ask to see evidence of valid insurance when you pay marina or slipway fees. There are not...

Interesting,: many thanks Chris and Aled. Just out of curiosity I wonder if the US (Dept. of Homeland Security, My! How their net has spread!) rules apply to canoes and kayaks built using traditional methods by first nation craftsmen.?? I couldn't see any exemption. Surely there must be some leeway.
