Points for Kayaks

[Raider Ronnie]

I actually read this to see if there were some "pointers" being given by a concerned boat guy on how to co-exist safely on the water.
Disappointed to see it was just another Assclown with something stupid he wanted to say to the other Assclowns out there.

I'm sure this was meant to be a joke. Possibly? As a boater and a kayaker, I find it in poor taste and not funny at all. In fact it's probably the same type of thinking as pulling up and dropping anchor or trolling right through a surf fisherman's casting zone.
It's all about respect, and this shows the lack of it.

Yeah, I don't get this, Rich..... If this is truly your MO, put it on your website, not here.... Vote to delete the whole thread.....

Why delete it? Let some of the other members read his idea and comment. Threads like this can show how some people think.
I'm sure it was a joke but a really stupid one. I would actually like to hear from the more enlightened boaters out there about what us kayakers can do or not do to avoid problems.

As I mentioned, I'm a boater and a kayaker. The only time kayakers need to be more diligent and knowledgeable is when they paddle right through narrow channels. Our kayaks only need several inches of water to paddle in. Boats aren't afforded the same luxury. It wouldn't hurt for kayakers to learn the boating rules of navigation including aids to navigation (channel markers) and what they mean to boaters. I have seen many kayakers that paddle right down the middle of a channel and not give way to boats one bit. I would still never consider deliberately throwing a wake at them.

Thanks Bo! I think your right, that kayakers should learn the rules of navigation and actually stay away from chanels meant for power boats if possible.

It was only a pun people. I really wouldn't want to collide with a Kayaker and I take all precautions when around them.

There is ignorants and arrogance on the water regardless of what type of water craft one uses. Some weekend days I stand by the second busiest bridge in the country to watch the ignorants of boaters not giving way to the boaters coming out of the riverside that have the right of way.
