Nice. Always a blessing when you can live to fish another day and safety precautions are taken when yakking.

I rescued 3 guys....a dad and his two young sons a few years back at Perris lake when their tandem yak was capsized by a fast moving boat at a no wake zone. The dad was in the water with no life jacket on. They managed to right the yak and get the kids back on, but the dad was hanging on to the back of their yak, not being able to get back on. The kids were ok.....they managed to get back on their yak but were already going into hypothermia after a few minutes,, even though it was 85 and sunny. Wearing heavy and sneakers didnt help.
