Depending on the weather, water surface conditions and time of day, kayaks can and do blend into their watery surroundings and are difficult to see from a moving motorboat.
By some NH law, the motorboater is obligated to watch for the paddled kayak and give it the right of way. A motorboat traveling at 95mph is much much less likely to see a kayak than a motorboat going 5mph! End of argument, I rest my case!
