You're skepticism is completely due to you drawing the wrong conclusions again - and not from what I actually wrote.
I never said that I felt at all unsafe at the time. The operator of the powerboat obviously saw us, so we never felt like he might get close enough to hit us.
Being swamped in a kayak just means that water pours into your cockpit. It's annoying, but doesn't necessarily feel unsafe. Usually you just bail out (or pump out the water), which is what we did. My kayak has both front and rear sealed (watertight) compartments, so my kayak will not sink even if the cockpit fills completely with water.
The powerboat operator broke the 150 foot law. But just because one law gets broken, that doesn't negate other laws, or show that other laws are not necessary.
