Missing kayaker in Mission Bay..

[driftwood]

SAN DIEGO -- A man's body was found floating near Shelter Island Thursday. The body was found in the water near the 1400 block of Shelter Island. I wonder if its related.

dam, always hits home when something like this happens to a fellow yakker.

Safety in numbers.!

shelter island = san diego bay. Kayak was found in mission bay. Unless the yak or the body made a crazy trek around point loma, I doubt it.

12 foot Malibu would be a Pro Explorer of Stealth 12. The fact that it was found flipped over is not a good thing, otherwise I would guess it was just adrift.

Wind blew a table over at my house in Clairemont. Hopefullly the kayak blew off a moored boat but who keeps fishing ear in a stored yak?

Just received a call from a guy name Scott, who plucked me from the water last week off La Jolla, telling me about the kayak. I saw this post yesterday but figured it was a 12 ft Red Malibu in the bay.....So, I decided to give the Coast Guard (then to the lifeguard headquarters) a call to see if maybe this was a 15 foot XFActor instead of a 12 foot red Malibu.....I described to them my setup and it turns out the kayak is actually my XFactor that I sank on 4-19 and it ended up on the Mission Bay Jetty...not in the bay......Crazy stuff I figured some fish had a new home on the bottom but it must not have reached the bottom......so I'm on my way to pick it up. Apparently it is trashed but the seat, fishfinder, baittank, a broken fishing pole, and who knows what else. I'll see what I can salvage! Maybe Malibu kayaks would be kind enough to make a trade Thankfully there isn't a missing kayak fisherman in San Diego on a 12 foot Malibu!
