Moss Landing/Elkhorn Slough kayaker dumped by Seal

Can't haul his ass back on the boat, and can't swim over to the bank in Elkhorn Slough (rarely more than 100 yards away), and he's paddling alone. He's not dressed for immersion. I'm guessing the seal spooked him, but I'm skeptical about the seal boarding his boat and capsizing him. Not impossible, but improbable.

That's an embarrassing picture of incompetence. Nice that others were around to help. I feel bad for criticizing harshly, but wtf?

A friend had a seal bump her kayak recently on the slough, and I once had a bull sea lion lay its head across the bow of my kayak, around 20 years ago on the slough. Never heard of any capsizing a boat, though. If the guy couldn't get back in his boat, he obviously had no skills. Makes sense that he could freak out and fall in the water if a seal started harassing him.
