What about carrying a small signal mirror to give them a quick flash to get their attention?

A wrist rocket is classified as a dangerous weapon when aimed at a person. If you brought it up in court that you were almost by their boat ,they could counter that you assaulted them by firing upon their vessel with your slingshot. It's a no win situation. Don't ask how I know about wrist rockets and the laws that govern their use. ;)

Trust me, if you launch a projectile at someone's boat, and cause damage to that boat or anyone on the boat, or your actions cause pain or injury YOU will be held liable. There are other ways to protect yourself. Horns, whistles, and the like are the best way to go. Keep your head up and if you see a boater not paying attention, I'm sure you can get out of the way. I always have my paddle on my lap or close enough to grab and whistle attached to me. I have had some close encounters, but nothing has ever hit me. Don't launch things at others, remember you are on a Kayak and a boater can make life really ugly for you if they want to.
Common Sense, screams load and clear here. |
POwer boat vs kayak = who will win :boxing_smiley: :biggrinjester:
