I learned a lesson today about kayaks.
Do not take anything on a kayak that:
1. does not float
2. is not tied on
A kayak is light and the one I borrowed is quite stable.....in fact touted as the most stable in the market.
I believe I had a center of gravity problem.
It was fun, even though I did not get a nibble, lost 200 dollars worth of rods and reels and went for an unscheduled swim.
