At first I thought they were bailing so snapped their pics to get the boat #, but they were actually going after my paddle. A very scary situation!
Or did they return because you snapped their picture.  I hope the stresses from the crash didn't cause any unseen damage like cracks at stress points.

   Holy crap......that was undescribably messed up.Glad that you survived..I woulda been cussing up a storm then wanting blood.their's not my own. :o
    It constaantly amazes me how some people can do such stupid things.But that is a very real possibility anytime we venture out.And it can happen anywhere and anytime.Dilegence should always be in our minds.
    So glad you are ok Micheal.You're a great guy and that could have had a much sadder end.Be safe out there ,my friend............
Life is short---live it tall.

Be kinder than necessary--- everyone is fighting some kind of battle.

Sailors may be struck down at any time, in calm or in storm, but the sea does not do it for hate or spite.
She has no wrath to vent. Nor does she have a hand in kindness to extend.
She is merely there, immense, powerful, and indifferent

At first, I was going to recommend the throwing stars available at the Loch Hagg general store.  But then I remembered the time in which I got hit by a minivan whilst riding my bike.  Last summer, in fact.  The guy had an unwilling double shift at work, and his wife left him.  He spaced off and made a right turn without looking.  His insurance was recently cancelled due to insufficient funds.  He cried, we hugged, and I staggered off to embrace my concussion.  He learned a lesson, and I came to appreciate the value of awareness.  But I was OK in the end, and it sounds like Jammer is, too.  It's hard to judge anything from the video, and Jammer makes it sound like he resolved the situation in his own mind.  I guess the take home message is that we should continue the fight to make power boaters aware of the fact that our low profile asses are out there.  And maybe, just maybe, that the Loch Hagg store has tri-stars for $4.99 a piece.

But seriously, if your boat is jacked, let us know; we have G-flex and spare boats.  We'll get you back on the water ASAP.

Should have grabbed your neck and started yelling "Oh Oww Whiplash."

Then clutched your chest and said "Oh this is The Big One, Oh I'm Coming Elizabeth!"

Glad you're ok dude. You're lucky that wasn't a much bigger boat, or a twin hull that would have gone over the top of you. I might have radioed M.C. Sheriff and had them sobriety checked. Then again you might not have passed that test. 😜

Glad you are alright.  That was a pretty good smack way too close.  Scary to think what almost happened.  Good to hear they were apologetic, helped out, and cooler heads prevailed.

Add a visit to Lens Crafters after the sobriety check.

I guess there is another good reason to fish with a buddy. If he had seen another kayak, maybe he might have been looking out for you. It's still no excuse for being a careless schmuck on his part.

Glad to hear you're Ok, dude!  I can't believe those guys!   :angry5:

Yeah, or better yet, one person anchor pointing up river, one pointing down river so you can watch each others' backsides.

Wow, Mike, you were amazingly calm and poised. I was shocked to see how stabile the Outback was during the impact and you remained so well balanced, both physically and emotionally. My hat's off to you for handling this so well and I'm sure glad you weren't hurt.

I've been reading a lot about the racing yacht that was pulverized last week by a mystery freighter off Ensenada, Mexico. This really strikes home. I hate even going out on Lacamas Lake when the wake boarders and PWC crowd are out in force. Too much gasoline, alcohol and testosterone makes for a treacherous environment for kayaks.

Be safe out there, I like the idea of buddies facing in opposite directions to watch out for each others' backs.
