Helicopter Rescues Six Malibu Kayakers After High Winds Blow Them Mile Out To Sea

[lowprofile]

I guess I can say I had a similar experience to this. I was shark fishing off the beach and since the spot I was fishing was sheltered by a hotel and some condos I didn't notice how bad the wind had picked up. I Loaded up the yak with a fresh bait and started paddling out, got about 200yrds and the wind hit me and took me out a total if about 500-550yrds in about a minute. I dropped my bait and started paddling in and what had taken me 3-4 minutes to paddle out took over 15 to get back in.
