Do you go boating by yourself? (safety related)

Hi Darral,

You really should check out the channel islands west of Ventura one of these days. I'd gladly meet up with you for a day excursion. Its absolutely gorgeous out there. I think it'd be safe enough if I we both went solo in our ribs but together. Its probably a bit of a drive for you though. If your ever up to it let me know.

I have a couple of dispenser thingies. They're pretty cheap, and much more visible (I hear) than flares during the day.

Boatster: You can pick these up at West Marine for $15, or most likely, any other boating store for about $10. Don't know about the UK, sorry.
