Default dead engines, kayaks, and powerboaters

JG,

I don't quite follow the kayak story. Why couldn't you luff your sail.
Sounds like they had the right of way and I don't think that you had an
emergency.

Good question... couldn't luff without going aground. They crossed in front
of me without regard to my ability to maneauver. Not sure what you mean
about an emergency, since it wasn't. I started/engaged the engine as I said
to avoid hitting them.
