If you talk about the channels their speeds are not terribly willd, but still you are a sitting duck. It exists everywhere you're ever likely to be in your kayak. There's more enforcement on the intracoastal, per boater, than in any city or state anywhere near here. Yes, you are a sitting duck, which is a really good reason not to go where you can't be safe. I presume you would not ride your bicycle on I-95, which would you ride you kayak in a zone where running on a plane is legal? Not only I wouldn't ride on a highway, I wouldn't even ride on the street right in front of my door. It's so bad that most people stay away from riding bikes on the road around here and rather ride the sidewalks... Of course, you ain't safe there either. Just today, as I was coming down on the sidewalk to cross this intersection, a car came blasting the horn at me because he felt every right to beat me to the corner. I had to use my brakes to the limit or else. That was a close call. And the guy kept going like nothing. I'm sure he knows we've got few rights --if any. Then you realize you live in the jungle. Welcome to the Jungle --if you dare. WHY THE BANANA REVOLUTION? ![]() http://webspwner.com/users/bananarevolution Sounds like you are suffering from "lack of sack" desease and whinning about it. Bycyles have as much right on our roadways as cars do, and have no right on the side walks. |
