6 Kayakers Rescued 3-17

6 Kayakers were recscued by U.S. Coast Guard in San Francisco Bay.  Happened at 6:30pm March 17 (Sat).  Pier 35.  2 were picked up by the Coast Guard.  2 picked up by a private vessel and the last two picked up by another private vessel. 

I think they were all in "Sit Inside".  They all flipped at the same time.  City Kayak is a few piers down the bay at Pier 38.

a sneaker must have snucked them. O-6 on the self rescue?

SOT, SOT, SOT. I predict it was a big cargo vessel that caused them all to flip. Those things put out huge wakes.
For six needing rescue they must have been extremely ill prepared.
Either no one had spray skirts or no one knew how to roll one of those things or a combo of both.
What do you want to bet it was a private vessel that called for help too?

I saw a movie where surfers were riding those wakes in the Gulf of Mexico. Huge!
Still, 6 people needing rescue? Poorly prepared, by any standard.

Wish we had video of that mass casualty event.  It must have been great.
