Spent five days over at the Colorado River most of the time in side lakes and back channels. Power boats (the party type) were all over the place, and
a few deranged ???????? would see the kayak and speed up when passing you.
Some would act like they didn't see you by looking away as they passed, while the six or seven passengers on their boats watched you to see if you flipped.
The back and side channels are no wake zones. But
one of these ??????? saw the three kayaks about a hundred yards apart paddling upstream over against the reeds. He opened up the throttle aimed for each kayak and passed me closer than a paddle length in a deliberate effort to flip us. The channel is about one hundred and fifty feey wide where this was done, deep and clear for a power boat to navigate.
My questions are:
1. If we get the hull number who can we report this to?
2. If we do report the incident will anything be done?
3. Any suggestions that on what we can do, that would not put us on the wrong side of legal?
Once again thanks in advance.
