Consider water temp, distance from shore and your swimming ability. If your kayak were to sink and your phone didn't work, would you be able to swim for it?

I go alone and most of the time could handle the swim, but in winter when the water in LJ is in the 50's it would be a stretch. On those days just be a little more prudent and make sure you carry a bilge pump. Make sure the phone works and is water proof. Carry a whistle.
