Glad you are alright.

While reading I kept wondering, why your son was not asked to close the hatch properly. Once you discovered the issue?

When I realized I was taking on water it wasn't until I was about half way back to the harbor. I didn't know how it was getting in. It wasn't until I got the kayak on dry ground and started draining it that I noticed the rear hatch was loose (closed but loose so it was hard to spot). Anyway at the moment I felt it best to just high-tail it back into the harbor since I was pretty close.
