Why do you guys feel the need to pick apart every post I make?

This stuff isn't all that difficult to figure out. If you just gave it a little thought, instead of just critizing me. I do know what I'm taking about, as far as kayaking goes.

For you guys, who are having trouble getting this:

When I'm worried that a speeding boat doesn't see me, I'm going to try my best to get out of his way if possible, and this requires using both arms. Besides that, the most visible part of a kayak is often the movement of the paddles. About the worse thing for me to do would be to stop paddling and just sit there, trying to make a noise that he's probably not even going to hear.

If a wake overflows into my cockpit, and there's no immediate danger, I'm free to stop paddling long enough to bail out my kayak. (If there's any other dangers, I just keep paddling until I'm in a safe place. Then I bail.)
