Should have just left them out there.

Kayakers are a PITA.

Hate 'em.

Oh, ok, glad their safe, but I still hate kayakers...


That is because you are old and decrepit. It's the F'n blowboaters. Last
September kayaking Mission Bay, San Diego. Guy is f'n with his lines and
not watching where he is going. We paddle as fast as possible out of the
way when we see he is coming straight at us. We are near shore in the
shallows and he is in small sailboat with 2 other people. wife almost makes
it out of the way when he sideswipes the kayak. Asshole does not even stop
after I am yelling at him. Did not get his CF numbers, but if I had, the
harbor patrol would have been visiting him. Did not have my handheld VHF
with me. But that said, a lot of the kayakers sux bigtime. There is a
kayak rental at Pillar Point Harbor. They like to gather around the entance
at the break water. Have called the harbor patrol on boats that are doing
less than 5 mph speed limit for coming close to them. Harbor patrol should
give tickets to the guide for blocking the entrance and endangering the
renters.
