I had my i phone out, no rods leashed, my good camera.............not life threatening but freaked me out as to how expensive it could have been.

In this situation I don't think i could have straddled up the hull. Not in open water anyway. With the chop and how unstable the
Kayak was from beyond swamped I could barely sit in the seat. Possibly in the kelp? Either way I'll be picking one up in the next few days
