I bumped into a fellow on the shore of porteau cove. He was doing fine but he's one lucky kayaker!
30 knot Northernly outflow winds swamped his yak between defense islands and five coves. He swam across the current waves and wind 5 km for 4 1/2 hours this morning.
He's from out of town, Israel in fact. The missing kayak has been reported to the Coast Guard. He didn't appear to be hypothermic, the Rangers gave him some dry clothes and a warm drink.
I told him I would post an add about his missing gear in hope's of at least some of it will find it's way back.
Blue rental kayak, Beaver brand, tent strapped to it. Plastic hollow style.
Gregory bag w/sleeping bag and clothing. Red grey back pack.
Possibly black trash bag with ID and wallet in it.
The gear is important as well as the ID/passport.
My guess would be it's floating around bowen by now....
Thanks!
