Missing kayaker in Mission Bay..

That is amazing, WOW!

Just talked to a Coast Guard boat today, and they handed me a sticker that you affix to your yak so that they know who to contact in case they find it adrift. You write your Cell, Phone, and Name on it in waterproof marker.

Simply amazing.

So glad both you and your kayak have been recovered.

This really shows, the ocean is something so incredible, and beyond our full understanding.

Shocker the news media has fully botched the story. Never trust what you read in the paper, or hear on the news.
They will always fill in the blanks in a story with their own fabricated nonsense.

Great story Bigbarrels.
You've go an amazing tale to tell.

Amazing...

That kayak is back for a reason. It must have soaked some karma drifting underneath the surface.

I think that the Malibu X-factor really is one tough kayak. I'll buy another one. Thanks for posting the photos. I hope Malibu steps up and helps you out. They may want to keep this U-boat.

I would buy another as well....Great kayak but I would have a different bait tank setup (5 gallon bucket) that doesn't sit inside the kayak.....or just make sure the sit inside bait tank was only ran with a timer switch (never had an issue prior to that day).....

What is the reason that you think it was the timer? I have had my x factor for at least 4 years now and have never ran it on a timer. The only time that I can see a continuous flow being a problem would be if your exhaust clogged and the tank started to overflow. But you would get the same result if you ran the tank on a timer. And the exhaust on that drop in tank is huge. I'm mostly interested because I'm still running mine without a timer and maybe there is something I'm missing? I do run the adjustable aerator head but I dunno. Care to elaborate.
