You always have to be paying attention to your surroundings.
So I'm a newbie here still. Newbie to riding a kayak. Is this something I should be concerned about? a large sea lion could probably easily knock us over right? I apologize if I'm being too paranoid, but I think it's a legit question. If you are bleeding a yellow, and see a large seal or shark coming up, what do you do? do you just chuck that fish in the water and paddle away? haha.

I have a knife attached to my pfd and figure I'd lash at anything that attacks me, but still, we are in their element.

has anyone been "boarded" by a large sea lion or seal? what did you do to get them away?
