REPLY: Thanks Matt. Dont i want to turn the kayak so the broadside is
toward the approaching boat so he can see it more readily and hopefully
turn (yet still be prepared to jump off ) ?


I was thinking more of bows on, so that if he misses you the kayak can
ride over the wake more easily. Also think being bows on in a
collision would protect you more. :-)
