Hey, at least you have something to do when it rains tomorrow. Happens to everyone, at least you kept fishing.

I had my worst flip this morning in 10 years as well.

Cut thru a few medium waves, and and final big one surge up and my Revo 13 dive down and flip.

Super hard to flip kayak over .

Thanks to fellow kayaker Mr. Ash help me drag the kayak to the shore.

It was on the way in. So technically I didn't keep fishing, but I plan to...on another day, with smaller surf.

Yard Sales are so last year

Do divers and snorkelers comb this area for yardsale stuff, to keep for themselves or sell on Craigslist? There must be a lot of nice gear under the water there. Maybe I can upgrade.

I got smacked by any unexpected wave behind me as I was preparing to approach the beach and lost my favorite fishing had. Damit. Luckily, everything else was bundled flat and stowed.

On another occasion I almost ran over a doofus blimp snorkeling into my path in the boat landing area one day last summer when I was coming in. Maybe he thought he had the right-of-way and that boats should go around him?

But to be fair, there were mobs of people playing in the water in the launch zone anyway, including small children, so maybe he was just clueless.
