Re: Kayaker rescue balnarring
Apparently Ghurkins (Yac doc) old yak.
Twas my old yak indeed, I was asked to sponsor him by outfitting his new yak, I've declined and said I want nothing to do with him

People laugh at me because I'm different, I laugh at them because they're all the same.

Re: Kayaker rescue balnarring
At least he didn't get on the news this time.
I hope he and his Facebook followers have learnt from his 2 "near miss" experiences.
More evidence that Vyakers write, read & take in safety info from this forum that Facebook groups don't.

Re: Kayaker rescue balnarring
FB name change from N2Deep to Kamikaze kayak adventures seemed a bit apt.
That said, suddenly realizing your kayak is rapidly taking on water 2kms out can happen to anyone, happened to me. Just an amazing coincidence.

Re: Kayaker rescue balnarring
I saw that and thought the same thing. Hopefully a further name change to Kamikaze Landbased Adventures is on the cards.

Yeah, that puts kayakers in a good light.FB name change from N2Deep to Kamikaze kayak adventures seemed a bit apt.
Well past the edge, almost at the point of no return.

Kamakaze eh? Is that referring to his approach to kayaking?
Or, was Kamakaze Fishing Tackle silly enough to become a sponsor?
I hope not!

kamikase lawn bowl adventures

Happened to me once too, but not 2km out !laneends wrote: Suddenly realizing your kayak is rapidly taking on water 2kms out can happen to anyone, happened to me. Just an amazing coincidence.
I damaged my scupper tubes when removing trolley during launch in the dark at Rickets without realising it.
By coincidence it was also my first pre sunrise launch with DIY heavy PVC tube light pole
Initially I thought the instability was caused by light pole, but a look inside the hatch deduced I was taking on water.
Rescued Kayaker stated on Facebook he may have damaged his hull last trip when retrieving yak off the rocks at Corinella.
IMHO If that was the case he would have started taking on water as soon as he launched, should have noticed change in stability soon after he launched and should have paddled safely back before he got 2km off shore !
