Like Fanie says, keep an eye ouot.
I use to kayak across Blydepoort dam with mates in my young & wild game rangering days. A crock chomped the kayak, and the dude still managed to row ashore. The crock was about 3m long.
Yes, they do attack boats etc from time to time, but hardly agressively, more of a mock charge. They will ten to one leave you alone, because the boat is larger than it's usual prey and I doubt if it will attack a threat larger that itself, it'll rather flee. Crocks take a long time to build up energy, and like most reptiles, they conserve their energy for hunting, not for looking for k@k with large unfimiliar objects.
DWB, keep your limbs on the boat and you'll be fine.
Enjoy Swaz bra!
BTW, there could always be this??????? Then you are fresh out of luck......
