Biggest issue i ran into (other than boats) in my hobie was a following sea when landing. Other than that it was an awesome craft.
I almost got hit by a boat in a yak fishing for stripers at night. Despite having lights some people are oblivious. Ironically it was my first time in a hobie.
Congratulations Pat. Well done.
Will,What do you mean by "Biggest issues I ran into (other than the boats) was my hobie was a following sea when landing?"
Will I agree. When the waves are at your back you need to be extra mindful of your rudder. Luckily the new rudder I put on my native I can adjust the tension so I wasn't getting spun around by waves.
Yes, I think with navigation people don't pay attention like they should. I had one boat speeding right toward me but luckily he changed course.
