Not sure who you're asking, but....

No. None of these. While not technically illegal, that person would
probably be removed from the scene if the CG happened on them
or someone reported them... which I will neither confirm nor deny.

Do you think that taking a kayak across a TSS in fog, is an act of
good seamanship?
Do you think taking a kayak across a TSS in fog is a responsible maneuver?
Do you think taking a kayak across a TSS in fog shows that you have
observed all precautions required by the circumstances of the fog?
Do you think taking a kayak across a TSS in fog shows a due regard to
all dangers of navigation and collision?

Just curious.

Have to leave it.


As someone who sails in SF bay, an area known for high winds, fog,
major currents, and all kinds of traffic, kayaks included, I think it
would be stupid, bordering on congenitally stupid for a kayaker to
sail in the conditions that you all describe.


The conditions described were fog. Heavy fog perhaps, but just fog.

You can toss in all the other misery you want and base your conclusions
and what you think the CG might do in those conditions but that is your
scenario, not the one under discussion.

And need I remind you, stupid is not illegal, it is not referenced in
the COLREGS. Operation of a vessel in restricted visibility is.

If you think that stating the laws that allow you to play in the Bay are
bickering then support the next politician who wants to ban pleasure
boating, maybe he thinks it is congenitally stupid to go out on a windy
day.
