The kayakers were out quite a bit this am on LL at least two of them were in green/camo boats and wearing dark clothes. Dont you know that against a green background you are practically invisible. No close shaves.
,but it was a little uncomfortable how close I was before I saw you and I was only going 35. Get an orange flag.
The same goes for float tube guy but at least you were around bridge pilings.

I hear you. I've noticed this too on LL. It's especially bad around dawn or dusk. I always try to slow down and give them plenty of room, but I've gotten closer than I care to a couple of times when I didn't see them from a distance. I worry about hitting one so I try to keep an eye out but the flag thing should be mandatory.
You are not a good or nice person.

I use a flag on Lewisville. All major lakes actually. Not so much on ponds, where they are no powered boats.
But I wont yak fish Lewisville from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Just too dangerous flag or not. Too many drunks. The fishing boats are not too bad out there but those ones with the towers of speakers and pulling people, blasting music etc.
Ski boats? They are all jerks, do not give you any space, and are just in general a menace.

This is why I wear brightly colored shirts (bright yellow, bright orange, etc) when kayaking, as my kayak is blue & doesn't stand out at a distance.

Just want to make folks smile, and spit coffee on their keyboard.

Was the lady wearing a gold brooch on her left wrist and big sparkly earrings?
