I don't understand how this could happen. I understand that the ferry might not have been able to see them. But how could they not see the ferry in time to move to a safe distance. It's not like the ferry is doing 30 knots. Or did they think they had the right away and the ferry would go around them?

Overall it's sad for all parties involved, especially not knowing the whole story.
What this does make me think of is boating here in the great lakes where people kayak miles out onto the lakes to islands etc. In BLUE kayaks. Sometimes there's 2'+ waves that hide them also.
Why not make kayaks and other small vessels require a 10' Orange flag like the silver lake dunes????
