Visiting Mendocino today and saw this Jackson kayak on top of a pile of driftwood down a cliff in the bay.  It would be quite a task to get it out.
"Pedo Viejo" is what Antonio called me.

Hope the owner is ok. I reached out to my Dad to see if anyone knows something about it, he's local up there.

Seen a few of these videos and just makes me think that this is another FnS sinking:

"Trying to imagine what circumstances would lead to a kayak ending up on a beach like that without its owner."

I'd assume falling off a dock or off the back of a boat.

Well they certainly had an adventure. I expected the first because of the thumbnail, but number 2? Why all the duct tape on the hull?

They all seem pretty inexperienced, and don't appear to have many safety protocols in place. Anyone else notice that Hali was way undersized he planned on keeping?

I just found a thread on that video, searching for the url for the YT link:  http://www.norcalkayakanglers.com/index.php?topic=93380.15

Trying to remember another video though that was worse as far as sinking goes...

I think it was a sand dab or other sole.  \

My favorite is at minute 22.  Four waterspouts haha open holes in the hull....
