As for safety, I was out in LJ yesterday bounce balling for some Halibut. This huge yacht starts heading my way. I start waving my paddle at him since he is heading straight at me. The pilot waves back, so he definitely saw me. He passes in front of me at a decent clip about 30 feet away. The wake sent me nearly vertical. Stupid prick! His buddies sitting on the back of the boat waved, so I gave them the one finger salute.
Its good to be safe. Its good to be prepared. But always count on assholes.

Same happened to me on Sunday, that young fat ass of a captain came barreling down on my buddy and I to the point I had to turn around and head even farther out( we were in 150+ ft of water), afterwards I turned an took the swell head on so it didn't flip me. That captain is a douche bag, him and his little posse that are always on that boat.
