I was out in pea-soup fog a couple of weeks ago...
I was going slow myself as it was that thick that although you could hear other boats, you couldn't see them unless they were seriously close.
I was well off the shoreline when suddenly I could make out a kayak-er in the very near distance...this guy had to be totally nutz. I almost got swiped by some idiot roaring by who didn't see me until the last second and I was laying on the horn in hopes he'd hear me (of course with his motor roaring, he never heard chit).....I mentioned to the kayak-er that he should move much closer to shore to avoid injury but he said/did nothing.
I give him a B+ for determination, but an A+ for stupidity.
Most people obey the rules the first season out.........after being exposed to everyone else who doesn't follow them....they follow suit. We're probably all guilty of it to some degree?
