He was in a stand by encounter situation. He didn't have any regard for the marine rules of the road. He is suppose to have a boating license because seaplanes what I have been told must obey boating regulations just like a boat. As he went by us you could tell he was looking up to take off. There was no way he could see what was in front of him. Two paddle boarders had to drop off their boards otherwise they too were in a potential run over by a seaplane.

Umm.... you might need a refresher course on the laws especially regarding Seaplanes! In NH, Seaplanes exempt from ALL laws and rules concerning the operation of boats for the purpose of landing and taking off from public waters. If you put yourself in a crossing situation with a Seaplane, it is definitely on you!
