As bad as it sounds to say, a whistle nor screams can be heard if no one is around to hear them.
If a random person hears a whistle I doubt they will think man over board or think much at all.
I am not saying its not a bad idea to carry a whistle or two but I DO believe that always having a partner on the boat or along side of you (in their own kayak) is the best way to stay safe.
BESIDES A PDF of course
I look at a PDF almost as I would a seat belt

Hi phs!
Bottom line a whistle (sound appliance) is a required safety item by Federal Law.
Has been for decades

Not all of us obey the law muhahaha
LoL I understand that.
I am just saying a PDF / Friend could help save your life over a whistle.
Though a friend with a pdf using a whistle and yelling for help would be very beneficial.

While I respect and value your experience and expertise, I also expect courtesy from you. I enjoy discussions, not pissing matches.

Kira!
I do agree fully with Phil on that!
Our friendship is starting to look more and more like "Grumpy Old Men!"
No question we're cut from the same hind end of the Mule

Luckily, my PFD came equipped with a blaze orange whistle on a lanyard in the pocket.
