Heck, I'd be willing to bet that although we do sometimes head out "alone", we end up seeing other yakkers in our travels.
I make it a habit, kind of second nature, of checking to see who is around me regardless of what type of watercraft they occupy.
That way, I know where they are and should they need help, and I can assist, I can do so.
What I suspect might have been the case was someone beached their yak before high tide and forgot to pull it up beyond the high water mark.
I would certainly hope that it isn't a case of someone falling out and being at the mercy of the sea!
Let's hope that it's the former and not the latter!
After reading the article, it looks more like a case of someone not beaching the yak high enough on the shore.
The kayak was found drifting with a lifevest and the paddle on board, signs that more than likely prove my presumption.
Hey, if no one claims it, maybe the CG can auction it off to a S-B member that wanted to try kayak fishing?
