I think I mentioned that sign outside the North Cove Marina in Manhattan near the Twin Towers: it says "No Jet Skis; No Kayaks.">> Wow, I can't imagine us being lumped in with jet skis. How on earth can people be annoyed by kayaks Ralph? Jet skis were banned last January here in Phuket. However, they are still around. There is no law enforcement here and the jet ski boys simply don't care what the "authorities" say. There are dozens of accidents every year and even some deaths thanks to jet skis. Thankfully, the jet skis hang out around the more popular beaches... places where I don't want to paddle anyway.
