Nice day paddleing w/ my wife.  not much fishing but i did drag a lure around.  We anchored and I did a little free-dive practice.  One time I came up on the yak to add some weight and I lost a fin!  I couldn't get down to look for it w/o fins...so i added a lot of weight to my weight harness and  tied it to a rope.  I held it and let it pull me down to the bottom I searched for the fin.  it worked pretty welll but I still didn't find it!   

On the way out of willow creek...I goosed the van and both yaks slid out onto Flosom blvd!  I always tie them in...eecept today. 

All in all a nice day with a couple of little sad points.

P.S.  anyone got one fin for sale?   

Don't assume whatever you drop off your kayak when anchored is right below. Rarely does that happen. Your kayak is pretty much like a pendulum and the anchor is the pivot point. You don't feel like you are moving. Unless you have the front and back anchored; you are.
I learned this when CHUB dropped his weight belt. His kayak was the 3rd kayak in line as only mine was anchored. I dove and dove all around under his kayak looking for the bright yellow weight belt to no avail. I had to take a breather so I climbed back onto my kayak. I went to resume my search and swam about 35 feet away from his kayak just to scope some abs. I found his belt there; nowhere near his kayak.
