I don't cross much open water and simply tend to stay to the edges.  A
swivel neck and a friendly wave seem to go far in GA and SC.  David Burch's
"Fundamentals of Kayak Navigation" (third edition) has a special section
concerning navigating in traffic and the rules of the road.  Take a peek at
p242-259.  Its a bit dry.  Then again its hard to make rules sexy.
