Thanks Parrothead - you summed up my thoughts. This was an accident. I can't tell you how "fast" we were going, but I can say, for what it's worth, that I at no time felt unsafe, or that we were moving at an excessive speed - based on the speeds I have travelled at other times on the lake (as a passenger). My immeidate reaction when I saw the kayak in two pieces was that the prop caused the damage. Yes there was moonlight, but make no mistake that it was still dark. I just don't think, until it happens to you or you witness it, that you can place blame on the captain.
