Carrying a whistle attached to the zipper pull on the pfd is something I always like to have on a kayak. A whistle is small, easy to carry, and could be pretty helpfull for certain situations. Plus, whistles seem to be heard real good out across the water.

What's the better safety item for kayaking Lake Winnipesaukee, a loud whistle or a cell phone?

Toot....toot....toot.....thought I'd give the whistle a tout here....as long as people are discussing kayaking safety.......toot....toot!

Believe that Florida boating law requires kayaks in Florida to carry a sound making device such as a whistle, as I recall. Plus, a kayaker always has the option of carrying one of those small compressed air horns which are extremely loud.
