*BODY RECOVERED**. Overdue kayak fisherman in Trinidad

Nick was recovered a few minutes ago.

RIP young man.

Damn that’s very sad   

Condolences to the family

Sad news. RIP Nick.

That's terrible news, just a 19 year old kid. Very sad.

Such a sad end to a gut wrenching story. Prayers for his family and friends.

So sad. Prayers to the family....

Such a tragedy.  Condolences to the family.   

I posted up on Facebook about safety and resources (including this community of course).  I hope it wasn't too soon, but the importance of safety standards is too critical to skip it.

I hope that the next time we have a little community debate about pushing safety on other users we can keep in mind that our overall intention is prevention.  Being judgmental or obnoxious is one thing, but making sure we always speak up about safety is vital to this sport and to this community.  Thanks for understanding also that I feel much more obligated to speak up due to guiding and running a big event.  I'm not JUST an asshole!

Stay safe, everybody.

I think debriefing this tragedy is very important. As with most tragedies there were several links in the chain that made it happen, and breaking any one of those links would have prevented it.

There is a very good reason that many many locals refer new and aspiring kayak fishermen to you, you cover safety very well.

Dang, too young. Condolences to the family.

super sad. RIP.

Prayers and condolences to the family.

Very sad.  Prayers to the family.  Everyone,  please think safety first.

  Please let me know if I can help in anyway. Very upset by this experience.  Can't imagine what the family is going thru

We get new people in this sport every day and there is more to ocean kayak fishing than just buying a kayak and a fishing pole. Keep preaching and setting a good example Eric. You influence more people than you will ever know.

Very sad.  RIP.  Strength to the family.
