That's why I have a SOT kayak, and also why I ALWAYS wear my PFD jacket. I wear the PFD all season long, whether it's 50 degrees or 95 degress.
Unfortunately, you learned an important (and somewhat expensive) lesson. Fortunately you had your PFD and were able to reach shore.
Calling the authorities about the kayak was an added plus, because as you stated, you didn't want them to think there was someone in the drink that could cost time, money and manpower to try and locate. There would also be a possibility of someone geeting hurt during such a search operation.
Glad you're safe and sound, and also a little wiser in the end.
