I saw a yellow PA flip and roll saturday morning early on the web cam....

I felt really bad for the guy as he dumped in chest high water and kept getting hammered by the short duration waves!

Might have been his.

PM yakman619, he was the one in the yellow PA...

Sorry to throw you out there, just hoping you get all that you lost....

yakman619 · 04-07-2013, 04:27 PM

Haha...Let me take a look. I'm pretty sure I have my battery, but I'll double check.

It's not mine, but I was the poor bastard you saw on the webcam. Hopefully whoever lost their battery lost it under better circumstances

Thanks for looking out Jeff.

DUDE!

That looked painful! I hope you came out with nothing worse than your dignity hurt? I honestly was hurting for you in sympathy! I am on standby for my first yard sale.....I can most definitely wait

Now when I rolled up first thing in the morning before anyone had launched yet there was a big battery left there. Looked to be abandoned. It was missing a terminal on it and sitting on top of the divider walls.

I left with a missing debit card, bent mirage drive, and snapped one of the tie downs on my bait tank. I was pretty lucky. My wallet washed onto my capsized PA as I was getting pounded. I recovered it but lost my debit card and drivers license. My biggest concern was losing my drivers license, what a pain in the ass to replace....Luckily, as I neared the shore my drivers license floated right past me.

It really wasn't too bad, though it was definitely humbling. I had no concerns as to whether or not I would make it past the surf, my concern has always been landing. Lesson learned.

Speaking of landing, how did yours go Jeff? Time it right? I felt bad for you and the guys on the tandem, I wouldn't have wanted to land in that surf.

yes Jeff that is the battery i figured to pick it up and put a post for lost and found...so maybe a late friday flip...

I timed it right and cruised in, but last sec I got turned sideways and bailed out. It was ok though bc I stowed away all my gear inside my hull. I managed to pin my kayak between me and the wave. It hit slammed into me, but it was all good. I got greedy trying to ride the wave all the way in. The surf was smaller when i came in than it was for the launch.
