In this day and age, really? No lifejackets and 3 up on a single person kayak. Not fisherman by the look of it.
Three men have been plucked from Port Phillip Bay after their kayak overturned near Aspendale.
Paramedics and an air ambulance helicopter were called to the scene after the men abandoned their kayak about 11.45am.
None of the men were wearing a life jacket.
The men were picked up by a passing boat and taken to shore, where they were assessed by ambulance paramedics.
The men weren't injured.

That's because we supply them with floaties instead of letting them sink silently to the bottom.mingle wrote:But these bozos are still splashing around in the gene-pool...bunyip wrote:Darwin is alive and well...

There comes a time where people have to take responsibility for themselves. Sadly, it won't happen this day and age...
