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 necessary.

So you don't feel unsafe around speeding boats. I don't understand any of your posts then, because you repeatedly say in other posts you feel unsafe around speeding boats. Or do the facts change with the argument?
