PB vs PA - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I guess leaving the scene of an accident (possible crime) is a free pass on the water

Can you imagine if that was a car?

I don't normally speculate on what I would do in types of situations like the one witnessed, but I will say, those douche-bags wouldn't be driving off like nothing happend!

I think not after seeing your arsenal...lol. And I believe that would be considered "hit and run" even on the water, I don't think there is such a thing as a free pass, especially with the evidence, I think it carries the same ramafications as if it were a car, would be interesting to see the outcome though

Sadly to say I think that maybe it would be hit and run if it was two motor boats But since the kayak is a non registered vessel there would be no accident report unless he got really hurt?

What recourse would he have if, for example, the impact cracked the hull and it started leaking?

Perhaps he wouldn't have even noticed until he got home or got the yak out of the water?

I probably would have asked for their phone number and very blatantly taken a picture of their boat tags.

He was smart enough to take out his phone and snap their photo.

I saw him take the picture as the PB'rs moved away. My meaning was that I would have been far more direct and said, "Smile" while they were still along-side.

At the distance that he took his picture, there is a possibility that a camera phone won't pick up the detail that I would want.

I hope this guy found everything that got knocked overboard. For one thing, his paddle gets knocked overboard at 0:20 and it floats away during the video.

If there's one thing that bothers me deeply in this world, it is when people are disrespectful/inconsiderate of other people.

kayak is a vessel or boat and all the same rules apply. including DUI's

had it been me, in those conditions, I'm sure I would have had, at least a little buzz worked up, and no dout those two in the boat were wasted....in any case, just like a traffic accident all parties would most likely get hooked up.

Just a little food for thought...protect yourself and stay safe out there.
