Redondo Fishing Report and a rescue

[Simmonsdlwa]

I wear my life jacket all the time now, not because I can’t swim or quickly flip and climb back aboard but because I purposely bought a bright yellow jacket. I don’t trust all the new COVID boat owners out there to be paying attention and am doing the best I can to be seen. If its rolling, often you’re the only thing sticking out above the trough.

BTW, I always wear my PFD but I get it if you don't.
It's such a habit for me now that i feel naked without it.
It also has other advantages like keeping me warmer in the early morning. More pockets to store things. Especially my phone.
It also gives me some safety if I were to lose consciousness somehow.

Kudos to you for being a good rescue assistant. Some guys take all the floats and the white plastic front bucket liner out of their PA's because they want the storage space - LOL. Without the bucket liner in the front hatch, the PA floods super fast when flipped. The floats keep the kayak from sinking if the hull gets fully flooded. Glad the guy is ok.

hiramehunter, thanks for helping. My wife was the one that flagged you down. The guy said he was standing because he saw it in the Hobie brochure... unreal
