The great orange barrier claimed the two dudes in the cobra tandem as well. They lost ALL their gear.

Great job finding your rod. White water rafter do what they call a "high side" when the get side ways on an obsticle. You actually lean toward the obsticle to lift the upcurrent ideof the raft o the currnt pssesonder and not over the boat. There used to be, or may be still is, a black boom just west of the railroad track bridge. When I worked at the hatchery some knuckle head tried to walk across the boom during an ebbing outgoing spring tide. He slipped, hit the water, and started heading toward the power plant water intakes. Cold ass rainy winter day and myself and a coworker stripped down, swam across the lagoon, dragged hs scared panicy ass up on one of the mussle floats,and waited for the life guards. Mike

Nothing like capsizing your kayak to suck the piss and vinegar from your salty dog self huh? A week and a half ago, my second surf launch, after washing out in the surf (real bad...) I finally get out, only to capsize my kayak. I was embarrassed and pissed! Guys were catching YT around me, and I was nothing but a drowned rat! I only lost one tackle box (full of irons). Everything else was strapped down nice enough to where I didn't lose anything. That's one good thing I guess... Some one told me when I got into this little fishery, "it's not a matter of if, but when".
