I love how welcome and helpful  peole are here especially veterans.

Again I just wanted to share my experience and warn people because even if you could control your kayak you cant control other people.

Good luck to you all.

I am just gonna tell you one time. If you were there and saw or experience what happened right at the mouth regardless of the fact you know the person who was driving or you think the owner of the charter is nice or not, you would not think it's cool at all.
It's like oh my friend got killed and you are telling me "ya but I know the killer and he is a nice guy". It's too late if someone dies or get hurt in the situation, there's no way to avoid it because it was right at the mouth we are even hugging the jetty to avoid as much as we could.

It does not matter kayak is new hobby and not recognized to the public, you will slow down because you don't want to push someone off the kayak or hurt people. It's that simple. I know many people want to be a teacher, lecturer or present hypothetical situation and talk about how to avoid it etc etc. The fact is if the boat goes fast that close in narrow spot right at the mouth, it is obvious kayak will rock and possibly tip over and if you are professional especially business, you wouldn't do that.

I've been to HMB many times. EVERYONE SLOWS DOWN AT THE MOUTH WHEN THEY SEE ME.
I'll tell you the fact I saw last year salmon fishing on Queen of hearts.. Huli Cat did the same thing got so close to kayaks passed red can and kayakers were yelling at the boat.

So, if you see Huli Cat, stay away as far as possible. That is my point.
I hope no one will experience what we experienced.

Says the guy that's only lived in the Bay Area only 3 years and kayak fishing since only February.

Look, I get it, you had a bad experience and want to vent.  But there is a lot of info on here from people that have been doing it many more years on the kayak and fishing the HMB their whole lives.  If you haven't called the Huli Cat, perhaps you should.  Then come back and let us know what happened.

I am just gonna tell you one time.  It's NOT that simple.

Regarding the red can "incident".  I do not want to see the Huli Cat slowing down when it approaches me.  It will throw a much larger wake.  Stay on plane and perhaps a friendly wave.

"EVERYONE SLOWS DOWN AT THE MOUTH WHEN THEY SEE ME".  So what?  You're assuming they see you and will do something.  What do you do when you see them?  The only thing you have control over is you.  What could you have done to avoid this situation?  How about always be aware of the situation, and turn your kayak into the wake?  Problem solved.

Haha you don't know me ive been on the water pretty mich every single weekend since and how many times ive lauched at HMB. You probably dont even know how narrow the mouth is even.
Then tell me when you are right at the jaw boat come from behind you. You are as close as the jetty on the left how do you avoid going down?
It looks like everyones shifting the point.
Yes it is super easy to launch. Im not talking about the launch.
Yes you can look around and be careful. We do that all the time coz we dont wanna die.

Just read carefully. There was nothing we can do to avoid at such a narrow spot and it was obvious dick move he made.

I hope thos clears out your misunderstanding.

AllI wanted to do it to warn people about how some boat operators do sad things like this and be careful about it.

I believe thia has nothing to do with the length of experience or technique to avoid it.
It simply the fact of the  boat drivers behavior which we have no control of.

kayakers should not mill around the mouth of the harbor.  paddle through as fast as you can and clear the boating channel.   If you cannot handle boat wakes, you shouldn't be there.
Duh. That's what we did. How can we go faster than charter boat? They came from behind and passed us hella fast right at the mouth. Elaborate us how to clear it. I guess most of my friends shouldn't be there according to you.

My buddy Omar just got thrown out his yak  almost hitting the jetty at the mouth of HMB.
They didn't bother to slow down right next to us and it was obvious what would happen at such a narrow spot.

Be careful even in the harbor and tight lines .
