Some people just don't think. Even if you need to cut across wait until traffic lightens up. Or if you need to go the same way stay outside the markers where the boats can not travel!.. You are drafting what 1 inch maybe 2 inches of water... You don't need to worry about hitting anything.
Anyway just my 2 cents.. It gets beyond frustrating. Then the same people will complain that they are scared to kayak on the big bad lake due to the power boats. Plenty of room for everyone. Just use your heads.
VTSteve.. What do you mean about getting to your slips early? letters? sorry didn't follow.

Kayaks are a blast. But as you say, there are far too many nowadays that either lack the common sense or common courtesy to use them properly. People have been kayaking on lakes for many decades. The past few years it's become one of those "in" things, and with that, you can get an entirely different group of people. I'd never think of doing what some of these folks do out there. Unfortunately, some actually do it on purpose. Sort of an In Your Face gesture.
There is plenty of room out there for everyone.
As for the slips, I was referring to another poster's statement that there seem to be plenty of slips still available. Not quite the outcome some places expected. It was stated on another thread that some marinas had sent out letters about advance payments and the like. I imagine any future letters might be worded differently.
