In Response To: Other: kayaker hit by speed boat. (dave g)

: A kayaker in a wooden boat was hit by a speed boat........

That's the one thing I love/hate about woodies - they're nowhere near as hi-viz as tupperware or gel coat. It's great for wildlife viewing; I was amazed at how much closer birds would allow me to approach. But it makes me nervous when crossing big expanses in wavy conditions. I'm always 100% more comfortable regarding that issue when tooling around in my Nordkapp ..... sigh.
