My La Jolla nightmare - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

My son and I went out today and snorkeled the area for a few hours. Son mostly goofed off and played games on my phone. I even paid some guy who specializes in finding stuff in La Jolla $100 to search, additional commission if he found items. He did most of the combing. We found nothing. Visibility was not terrible but not great. The guy is going to keep searching when visibility improves and ask around at lost and founds. At least I gave it a shot.

(edit) I should mention we saw at least 7 fishing kiyaks flip going out, 1 flip coming in...only difference was they were educated enough to tether drive and seat. I have come to realize I hadn't engaged seat clip at seat rear prior to launch. This whole thing just stinks of rookie...live and learn!

I still give it 10% chance some good person finds it and gets it back to me...I am kind of on pause for a couple weeks before I take any further action such as replace or ditch the hull on CL...
