OP Kayak incident 6-1

Anyone have any information on the kayak rescue at Oyster Point yesterday? Saw this posted on Coastside. Good work to the AI/TI kayaker on the rescue and catch!

Coastside report:
"I was at Oyster today. When I arrive there were all kinds of SSFPD cars and SSF fire trucks. One the police asked if I had binocs. Yes, I do. Turned out a kayak fisherman radioed for help just outside the breakwater and taking in water. A passer -by large sailing trimaran kayak picked up the guy and transferred him to a more stable real boat. The trimaran kayak skipper was the hero. The Trimaran had a large butt on board. BTW, 4 butts to 17# were landed by the pier anglers using fresh caught jacksmelts"

Caught a butt and saved a butt, hero Trimaran!

thats now 6 people rescued there in a little more than 2 weeks wow

What would you think contributed to that many rescues? Inexperience? Lack of preparation?

inexperience- yes lack of prep- yes and lots of wind. may/june is usually the windiest months in the bay

All of the above and watching too many youtube videos with the delusional thinking its a piece of cake. 

they buy a hobie and a go pro.

Looks like I’m going to need a rescue any day now…
