OK so here is the rest of the story! We went back on the Race the next day.....and happened to bump into the man and his son coming out of the Ranger Station. The man happened to engage me in conversation and mentioned that after we had seen them the day before that he (the father) actually found himself in trouble out on the water as he had gotten caught in the ripping currents off the beach! He told me he could not break from the current and had to just go along with it until he could and that he had taken a couple of waves and a little water had gotten into the yak but he made it out ok! I told him I had my concerns when I saw him the day before about the lack of a life vest and actually the fact that a sit inside kayak was not the way to go out there! He claimed he had a life vest on (which I find hard to believe since we saw them out on the water a couple of times with no sign of a vest at all, certainly not being worn at any time) I am glad he made it out but I will certainly be trying to give people the heads up in the future despite what their reaction might be.
