Well as I asked you originally, what speed is safe in this situation? You can't name a number because it depends on the conditions. A power boat can kill at any speed. One with a propeller can kill when stopped.
So picking an arbitrary speed to prevent death is impossible.
GWC, Cal, I know you are just joking around, but you know that those posts are going to be quoted ad naseum as proof that evil power boaters are against paddlers.
People who think they know better and only want to take away your freedoms to protect you, tend to be humourless, they won't get the irony.
