Default ...up in post #52

The photo of the boat up in #52 looks a lot like one of the Marine Patrol's three 27' patrols boats w/ the twin 150 Mercury outboards.

Here's a question for you. If the Marine Patrol officer in that boat hit a kayak while out patroling in the broads beacause neither the reflective orange pfd worn by the paddler, nor the dark blue kayak, nor the reflective white paddle blades were claimed to be visible and all blended into the two foot chop and could not be seen and it caused the death of the paddler. Would that end up as determined in a court to be an accident, a manslaughter, or a homicide, and why?
