Pretty lucky. It's always nice to see their helo overhead.

Agreed! I saw them every morning I was at PAC City last week. Very much appreciated.

+1  the men and women of the Coast Guard kick ass!

I'd be curios to hear more.  If he had "survival gear" why couldn't he get back in his boat?  Maybe it drifted faster than he could swim, or it was a SINK that sank?  Glad he wasn't hurt.

Here's a little more info...

But still no explanation of what went wrong, or any indication of whether the kayakers were in sit-inside or sit-on-top kayaks.  Does anybody have the inside scoop on this incident?
