About the kayaks and canoes...
They are often hard to see.
A bright colored vessel, PFD or flashy paddle can help boats see them.
I think that power boaters would do well to look for everything, not just other power boats. It's similar the the problem motorcyclists have with cars. The driver of the car scans for other CARS. Is there a CAR? No? Then go.
BANG! OMG, where did that bike come from?
Although it's the power boater's job to avoid them, the paddler will still be dead even if the power boat's captain in in prison.
