That is a very luck man.

I would like to know the circumstances of the sinking, anything could have happened out there....

The make and model of Kayak has me curious.

A boater actually recovered the kayak off the coronado islands today. Apparently it didn't sink completely.

ET? Channel 5? I am confused. Why would it be on ET? and we do not have a channel 5! Am I really missing something here?

I respect the guy for his reaction "ashamed I wasn't prepared". He didn't blame anyone else and took full responsibility. I've done things more stupid I'm sure but I try to learn from both my mistakes and other peoples mistakes. He forgot to bring fishing gear? Moron!

One thing I thought was funny but maybe I misread...

He spoke of some of the survival training he recieved in the Navy and then went on to say that he only learned to swim last year? I understand that not everyone enlists in the Navy to be a SEAL but shouldn't the Navy have included swimming lessons in their survival training? (Or is he still "in" the Navy and only enlisted last year where he learned to swim?)

I read the complete article when it appeared in the U/T. To the best of my recollection, he had recently got an older kayak which had a plexiglass viewing window in the bottom, which he suspects is what leaked. He launched from around Marine Street and went out a couple of miles for a nature trip.
