From post #38: "This is the same photo. The second one is just zoomed in."

Go check it out and take a good look....... and, that's an order! .......

.......................


So, it looks like the unseen kayak and paddler is a long ways away, like maybe a quarter mile, half mile, 3/4 mile, one mile, or even further out from the power-boat ..... how far away is the invisible kayak in the first photo?

While going 45-mph, the Winnipesaukee speed limit, in a boat with this amount of daylight, how close before the power-boater can see the kayak and paddler?

Painting the double kayak blades bright white with a red or an orange stripe, what with the involved paddle movement DEFINITELY seems to increase the kayak's visibility to all the other boaters, out there ..... plus you get to mess around with spray paint and painter's tape ..... to do a good high visibility, kayak paddle, paint design. ....

http://www.skyaboveus.com/water-spor...elf-in-a-kayak ..... 'How to kill yourself in a kayak' ..... "if all the crazy motorboats don't hit you, you can still freeze/drown in the cold water!"

'Kayaking can be fun, but only if you avoid death!!' .....

NH Marine Patrol twitter reports: Saturday, Oct 10, 2020, aprox 10-am; an adult male fell out of his kayak and drowned in Echo Lake, Franconia NH, which is very close to Rt-93, at the base of Cannon Mtn. ...... which shows that kayak paddlers are very capable of drowning themselves without any help from all the motorboat traffic in Lake Winnipesaukee.
