Well Doug, this big city paddler reads all your kayak/boat close encounter stories with a touch of bewilderment. I paddle out of one of the largest pleasure boat harbors around and have nary one close call with a boater to relate. I think it's much worse for lake paddlers where people sometimes run out of real estate, but my usual travels take me out of most pleasure boater's paths and harbor speeds seem reasonably regulated. I guess you gotta take the good with the bad: perhaps in big city life we tend to smack down those folk who get out of line as a general rule: or else we'd always be in chaos!
