On a Serious Note - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

MrPatrick · 06-19-2013, 06:58 PM

I went out once when I shouldn't have. Got wrecked by a huge wave that tossed me off and tore stuff off my yak. I got back to the beach after my FND did. It washed up in a big wave and waited for me. I, meanwhile, got submerged three more times and came up head first because of my snugged down PFD. When I was out of the SH!T, I instinctively grabbed for my wedding ring, not caring that I may have lost it, but that she might have lost me.
Now I listen to my gut. I've been at LJ where I'm sure looking back that I could have made the launch. If I get that "something's not right" feeling, I'll sit it out or watch the waves until the feeling goes away. She's worth it!
