I have had the opportunity angle quite a bit from my 19 foot sea touring kayak, I had a pair of duplicate boats, very stable. We have been in all type of water including stormy oceans that not a single recreational power boat would venture out in. Comfortable sea fairing, enjoyable. The original boat I used was blue and my son used the bright yellow one, mostly because I cared more about his safety than mine. We always wore bright flotation and never seemed to have any issues or close calls with other boaters. I only have the yellow one now, sold the other last summer. I digress, I am really glad to know that the fellow in the kayak is safe.
As a power boater we should always be vigilant in spotting obstructions, logs, reefs, kelp, ropes, anchored boats, buoys, paddle boards, canoes, row boats, other watercraft, blah...yes, and Speed Bumps (kayaks). All joking aside it truely is our own resposibility as power boat opporators to see these potentential hazards, its not only our lives but the lifes and safety of others.
More and more small craft are joining the waters to access fishing especially as an affordable option, please just be more aware in your surroundings, we all want to keep living and enjoying the passion we all love. We all want to have an opportunity to keep on going.
Cheers.
