Barneys Joy Accident

74 year old guy... boat was washed ashore and body recovered nearby.
I 've kayaked the Slocum out to barneys joy dozens of times.....breaking waves while rounding the point were always a big concern.

You told that right. Have 'yakked there from Demarest Lloyd a number of times, and usually can't stay after lunch. Almost got swamped in my Dad's 20 foot Grady coming back from there about 30 years ago. Was there in late May in my yak, paddled out, and turned around when I got there; no way I was getting to shore against 2 foot Northeast waves in 55 degree water if I capsized. Shows you why not many folks go there in small boats.
