I don't get why people keep attaboying NCKA. As far as I can tell NCKA didn't do squat. Might even be a NCKAer who got dumped.
Attaboying go to the pber, or to coastsidefishingclub.com  for Davin the numbskull

Yes, to be clear this was a power boater that aided the kayaker. I was just sharing info from Coastside and was not at the scene.

Cheers,

Still glad he’s ok though. He got really lucky. Some people rely on luck instead of being prepared but luck will only take you so far...

I agree with you 3$J.
And these guys are always referred to as "kayakers".
I'd suggest the NCKA just drop the K and replace it with an F.

Here is a selfie I took while towing a motorboat off a lake.  The motorboater wasn't about to die of hypothermia, but would have been blown onto the shore.

 Here is an appropriate quote for hacks like this guy and NCKA general pop.

 "Have I done anything lately to elevate or challenge my skill set?"
This question is perhaps the simplest differentiation between boaters and floaters.

He was probably telling Pete to speed up so his lure could have the right action.
