I just can't believe that people would even contemplate going out in that wind. And in short kayaks, that wouldn't help. No wonder yakking as a sport has a sometimes tainted name.

Looked like 3m ebay specials on the news considering they were not struggling to drag the yaks in by one arm. Also said there will be a next time. idiot seriously i dont believe rego but licenses would have to reduce risk.

I was at Altona boat ramp between 6 and 6.30pm last night. Not a single boat was out. It's unusual not to at least see a couple of the die hards still going out. I reckon that tells the story well enough. If people in 6 - 7m fishing boats aren't going out, well .....
