I am not quite comfortable with my safety equipment due to no reliable VHF and lack of a compass and haven't figured out the anchor setup yet.
Also I have cut way back on the talk radio and am trying not to get into political discussions which tends to alienate people and burn bridges that never got a chance to be constructed  .

Ed, you'll fit in just fine. The Yak Rats are just a bunch of guys (and girls) who are very easy going and like to get together and fish on their kayaks. I wouldn't be too concerned about not having a compass or VHF. I wear a pdf and that's about it. I don't need a compass of vhf when fishing with the Yak Rats. I go pretty minimalist when I'm with a group. If I'm alone, I carry a radio and SPOT satellite person tracker. As for the smoking, as long as you're not blowing it in someones face I wouldn't think it's a problem.
