In an unrelated note, I was fishing at an UDL near Rockport, and got passed by like 20 kayaks that were all the same manufacturer and color. Some singles and some tandems. They had to be rentals.
Two out of maybe 30 people were wearing a life jacket.
What makes me kind of pissed, being someone who dumped a yak pretty badly my fourth or fifth time out, is that how could a business that rents kayaks not absolutely require their customers to wear life jackets??????
Just a thought.
And I was a long swim away from anywhere and the only boat around for a while.
