Went out in **** weather on a **** kayak with no PFD. Some people are just a coroner's report looking for somewhere to happen. I feel for his friends and family, the guy he was fishing with would be devastated.

Probably. Which is a shame because info about safety is so easy to come by these days.

May he rest in peace.
Sorry for his family and friends. No fishing worth a life. It should be having a good time.

I'm scared to be on a yak in the bay now.
I can swim, but not a good swimmer. The panic is the harest to handle.

Even being a good swimmer being caught in the current would be a challenge.

True. Especially in western port. Strong current there.
Stay safe all. No fish is worth a life.
