I shot the gopro video that was posted to LCKA on facebook and sent it to Jess  (i do not have facebook).  If someone wants to post the vid here, i can email it (im not sure how).    CF 1666 VF from i could read.  60hp Zuk  hangin off the back.   We heard some noise over the radio about a pb being a jackass, couple minutes later he came at us out of the fog and proceeded to circle in between the three of us and  harass us before tearing off through the fog to harass the next group of kayakers.  Later, we saw him come back in to calmer waters and shoot off a flare of some sort. While I agree that he probably wasn't going to do anything much more than try to intimidate, there was a line that was crossed.  It doesnt take much for a situation like that to turn south quickly.  There is no place for any of that on the water.

As said before, kayaks allow you to launch in many places that boats can't, and are much less of a commitment to use. It takes so much less time to get a kayak ready than it does to get a boat. You said that you can buy a boat for the price of a really nice kayak, but that doesn't take into account maintenance, storage, gas, and the need for a truck and trailer. Boats almost always end up as money pits. When you buy a cheap boat it also comes with a lot of limitations especially if you plan on using it in the ocean. Buying a seaworthy boat is never cheap.

As the saying goes: 

The two happiest days of a boaters life is the day they buy a boat, and the day they sell it. 
Not a kayak, though.   

I personally know someone that took a spear to the head. He then had to climb his way out of the cove up a cliff with a spear sticking out of his head.  It wasnt pretty, but he made it.   

Found what I was looking for.  Thank you.

 

Happy St Patrick’s Day.

Glad it wasn’t worse.

This is amazing!
