Holy crap is a HUGE understatement. I'm extremely glad that you and your boy are safe. I take it that you have a Malibu stealth? The damn hatches leak progressively in such a subtle manner that you almost don't notice until there's a good amount of water in the hull.
It was a very unexpected situation, but you guys made it out safe with minimal gear loss and one hell of a story to tell at parties. And, to that, I think that is the best situation that one can hope for. This passion of ours is packed with an endless array of fun and satisfaction, but like anything in life there are risks and kayaking is no exception. Pretty harsh of the in-law to say that to you.
"All men die, but few ever really live", is what I believe in. But, hey who am I to say. I'm just some wild eye 20 something year old who likes to see the optimistic side of things.
To future safe trips for you and your boy.
And Sewer winds SUCK! Damn things turn on like a light switch at times.
