If you got anything out of all the threads you browsed hopefully you picked up these two very important recommendations.

Always wear a PFD!

Make sure that all your gear is secured below deck or with a leash.

It took only seconds the other day for a couple of guys to lose thousands of dollars of gear when their yak capsized in calm water. I was just a few feet away and could do nothing to stop it.

Whenever you go out on the water, be sure to turn your brain on first. Poor preparation and bad decisions are usually a recipe for disaster.
