I suppose we could equip all the logs, deadheads and kayaks with AIS,

Your radar can see logs and kayaks?! I want one of those! It's gotta be
magic. How many gigawatts does that take to get a return off a plastic
kayak?

I guess you're assuming the guy in the kayak has a metal Coleman stove in
there, too...(c;

We border on the absurd....which is why they'll make them mandatory over X
ft long....and all that go to sea.
