Two more people died at Netarts Bay. They were not kayakers but the unfortunate circumstances do help to illustrate the preparation and precautions needed to operate safely out on the water. https://katu.com/news/local/2-dead-after-boat-capsizes-off-oregon-coast

very sad but close to the ocean at near peak outgoing tide during a really strong ebb tide and not even wearing PFDs. :(

I’ve seen hundreds of pb’ers not wearing life jackets when in Tillamook bay, when I’m on my buddy alumiweld salmon trolling I have one on, kinda hard to put it on when your treading water in 50 or so degrees of water.
