Non-Kayak related.. Just crazy and thought I would share because we are always talking about the boats buzzing by us and almost near collisions..

Prowler Sportfishing boat out of Seaforth was T-Boned by a $250 Million Dollar Mega Yacht earlier in the week. Boat totaled, fishermen airlifted to Hospital..

Prayers to those involved.. Be More aware my friends..

I cruised around that mega yacht when I was breaking in the outboard on my Solo Skiff. Huge sucker...

How does that vessel run into anything? Must have been some party on that boat that night.

Wow it’s truly hard to believe that those two vessels both with radars would run into each other. It will be interesting to see if fault is found with one boat or the other.

Captains are not always running the radars out at sea. Wouldn't do them much good if they were most likely on autopilot as well.

Damn, that's sad, prayers to the family! Not that is is any condolence but that Chopper and some water toys among other things once sold should be nice padding in the bank for the family of the deceased and injured..
