I was one of the victims. I got carried away drifted out way too far south. Coming back making slow progress got real ugly. Good thing I just got a new vhf. Was going to use it last resort if I flipped but that lobster boat rolled up on me and offered a free ride....sweet. Went around looking for a few other guys but couldn't find them. One of them also got dragged in by a jet ski. Lesson learned. Respect weather reports and try to stay close to your group...

Dude, I saw you guys. I was thinking, wtf is that guy doing, can't collect traps now. The swells were so nuts, that most of the buoys to the lobster pots were submerged.

We leave those posts for the sewer guys, lol jk. The only time I almost died was in Iraq! Just had an, "oh shit, this kinda sucks moment", as I'm trying to unload gallons of water from the yak. While trying to avoid the swells that were breaking near seal beach around that bend.

Gotta look at the bright side, got my exercise for the WEEK!

We shall have our revenge La Jolla!

Might be in a month though, called Raymarine yesterday and now they're projecting end of February when they ship the new 4 and 5 to the stores.
