This past Wednesday, in an attempt to demonstrate the relative sizes of human beings and navigation markers, I asked these four paddle-boarders to group themselves around two nearby markers. They did so and graciously.

That's "Flasher-19"—and its companion buoy—with Rattlesnake Island in the background.

No board is in yellow or red coloring, but they are clearly visible—which should end the "red-flag-requirement"—borrowed from New Jersey lawmakers.

However, brand-new questions are begged:

1) Shouldn't paddle-boarders be carrying PFDs "aboard"?

2) Should paddle-boarders be wearing PFDs, too?

3) To be visible, should kayakers always be standing?

(No, forget #3).
