Glad no one was hurt besides the poor kayak  :'(

The boat was reportedly on auto-pilot, the skipper inattentive.

That was one hell of a close call.  It is good to read that the skipper realized it was his mistake and is compensating Stu for most of his losses.

Derek check Bi-Mart. They had a 7 or 8 foot ATV flag for $13 bucks. Needs a little modifying to fit a rod holder or milk crate on a kayak but you can't beat that price. Pretty sturdy too (since they're designed for ATVs)

I'm going to reinforce my hull with steel and machine guns. Does everyone know what the rules of the road are??? 5 shorts blasts indicate the danger signal!
