I often go offshore fishing and there are fish pots with marker buoys all over the place. We have no problem seeing them because we are watching where we're going. There is reason that a vessel may not see a kayaker at a distance, but no reason to not see one close up. I agree- when there is a collision the operator is at fault... be it a tree, a rock, or another boat- if you hit something you weren't maintaining proper lookout.
