"no motor boaters... [go close to shore.] " So... What does that mean? Are you saying kayaks should not be in the open water but only stay close to shore? Most motor boaters seem to think that way, which is why it would be so humiliating to be pulled out of the water by one. It would prove them right, at least in their mind. I'm curious, though. During a given season, is a kayaker or a motor boater more likely to avail themself of a marine rescue? I've seldom been in motor boats, but three times I've been in one when the motor died. (Once in a commercial ferry.) Two of those occasions required rescue by another motor boat. I've yet to require rescue when canoeing or kayaking. I have no idea if this is typical, or just my luck.
