Early Bird Catches The Worm

[StinkyMatt]

I think George was talking about the guys that in the middle of the day will see a couple of kayaks and boats drifting and decide to plow through the middle at high speed. These guys need a swift kick in the behind.

The night time thing you are absolutely right about, very risky. Gotta keep your head on a swivel and assume that the other guy does NOT see you.

A headlamp light is totally useless in and around a harbor and/or channel at night. A good boatsman avoids all potential dangers,including boat traffic. If one is tired of sharing our waterways with other boaters,regardless of how stupid you percieve them to be,time to fish the bathtub. There are as many idiot kayakers as there are idiot boaters!

If a boater cannot see a 100lumen headlamp in the strobe mode maybe HE needs to fish or boat in the bathtub.

Refer to StinkyMatt's response. If a boater intentionally cuts thru kayakers what does that say of the boater?

No one is tired, we're just trying to be informative. Our intention is to make make others aware of potential hazards including but not limited to boaters who think they own the waterways

Speaking from experience, I have to disagree with you. If you don't believe me go to any boat launch the weekend after next and you'll see what I mean. When you're done there go to any place where yakkers launch and you'll see that the amount of idiot to safe boaters is far higher than the amount of idiot yakkers to safe yakkers.
