Appreciate the time and effort both Rhino and yourself have put into this, people losing their lives on the water is tragic however it's encouraging to hear that kayak fishers as a whole aren't overly represented in the statistics. I've learned a lot participating on this forum so thanks again for all the good work! :thumbsup:
