See those morons that had to be rescued in the yaks off Plum Island this weekend? Now come on....did you also see the pics of the sea conditions? You choose to go out in conditions like that and you deserve what you get......maybe in the future, these folks will use their heads for something more than a place to store their hats!:rollem:

where'd you see that?

Probably cruising Joppa and then hit the current on the Merrimac......got spit out in the ocean just like a log ride at disney....The Merrimac is still ripping pretty good.

I'll give them credit...they did have the proper safety gear, they got a flare up to signal they were in distress

There is a large group of experianced Yakers that use the PI and Ipswitch area for their fun. I have seen them out in rougher conditions than they were in yesterday. I understand they got caught in a rip current and couldn't get free after capsizing their yaks.:gf:

I agree with Larry - they shoulda known better. That river current rivals the speed of the ditch and many underestimate its danger. Thae rip wraps right around the jetty and propels all debrie towards Ipswitch including yaks and small craft.:hihi:

I just posted this in the main forum, sorry Larry didn't know you had posted this.

Good thing they were smart enough to have all their safety gear with them. Like TDF said, probably out on the flat then hit the rip and see ya.....Good thing they were prepared...

only way to yak :D

Wow :humpty:

Being prepared is always the most important thing no matter what you do but they should have seen the poor conditions and gone back home. I feel so bad when someone is killed doing what they enjoy! It just ain't right!
