My immeidate reaction when I saw the kayak in two pieces was that the prop caused the damage. Yes there was moonlight, but make no mistake that it was still dark. I just don't think, until it happens to you or you witness it, that you can place blame on the captain.

Was it you????

I agree that it was an accident and if you had to put blame it would be the kayak with no lights. Speed could have come into play here but if lights were on you would have to imagine steps would have been taken, even with this said, the illegal act was being on the lake at night with no lights
