Safety First - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I was down there at 5:30 and back in bed by 6:00. Finally had a day when I could get both my kids out on the water with me and got turned away.
There were guys paddling out when I arrived and the wind was already up, bad decisions. As they say A Mans got to know his limitations. You may feel like a big man but mother nature can kick your ass at any time. Always err on the side of caution, going out in these condtions can cost you your life and the life of the person who has to go and and save your ass.

Yeah, took one look....well maybe two, at the surf and wind and decided not to launch. Stuck around to run cleanup crew and help the guys coming back through that mess. It went from nothing to nasty in no time at all. Oh well, there is always Thursday....
