LJ Firsts

None of them good firsts sadly... Went for an afternoon session today.

First time time taking 4 huge ones over the bow and getting totally soaked while launching. Wasn't sure I was gonna make it out there without flipping.

First time dropping anything off the side of my yak while fishing... lost a folding knife while cutting bait

First skunk, unless you count catching bait. Didn't catch anything other than bait, lots of greenbacks which not even the seals wanted today.

Most importantly... First yard sale

Flipped on the way back in. Usually I just jump out once I hit waist deep water and walk it in but I timed it poorly I suppose. Or just went out there on a day with surf too big for my skill level.

Lost a promar collapsible landing net, shattered my wristwatch, and nearly lost my rods and reels even though they were tied down... 2 out of the 3 hobie leashes came undone. Luckily they were wrapped up around my PFD when I flipped . My PFD also was definitely not tightened appropriately as it came halfway off.

Nearly lost my hat which came off. Almost lost my beach wheels which washed up on the shore.

Lessons learned I suppose
