6/05 AM - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

wavster · 06-05-2007, 12:44 PM

Petty Officer Daniels gave me this number if anyone needs to file an incident report:
619.278.7031.

This is not for things like "he buzzed me", but more if there is a kayak flipped because
of wake from them coming too close.

They both have been leaving me alone for a while but that might be because I very conspicuously pull out my camera and grab my radio anytime I see them aimed my way. I think knowing there will be witnesses and photo documentation discourages the asshole behavior.

Thanks for the tips all, I have'nt been assualted yet, only aimed at, But I will say this, all navigational laws apply to any vessel, regardless of size. A sure method to get these foul captains off our waterways is to hoist a divers flag on your boat and any encroachment within a certain amount of feet or yards is an offense of navigational law !!! My camera will be armed and ready to shoot.

the New Seaforth definetly needs to cool it they don't care in the least about the kayakers on the water

That really sucks to know that they are doing this again.... (About the New Seaforth).

And to think I actually took groups of my friends out on their boat several times in the past... Including a couple of months ago. Now I wish I hadn't patronized their business.

I'll be looking for another charter boat company to use for the future.

This morning I was making bait west of the point in a break in the kelp.
The New Seaforth was parked North of me. No sooner did I drop my sabiki in
the water when irons started landing right next to me. The Captain of that boat
is irresponsible and a menace. Though I was not in his chum line and not interferring with his
business, he has no right to harass others (or encourage crew or patrons to).

I am taking pictures and will report all inappropriate activity.
