Episode 1, not on the water.  After Sunday at the Pac City Kayak Fishing classic, we were back at the campground washing down our gear.  If I still have my dry suit on while doing so, I usually spray myself down to give the drysuit a nice rinsing.  Forgot to zip the fly ....

Episode 2.  While launching at Oakland Bay there was a nice bank that I decided to do a seal launch down, you know, sit in your yak and slide down the bank into the water.  "Something" went wrong and over I went.  Again, forgot to zip the fly ... fried a cell phone and sat there wet in my drysuit the rest of the day.

Think I'll ever do that again?  Probably ...  ::)

Nope I couldn't get to the camera fast enough.  I managed to get film of Zee following shortly afterward, but he actually made it without falling in :angry7:

Eventhough I had just spent the morning on the water a bit more than green, this is what I usually remember first about that entire day...lesson learned. ::)

Dat's right money! Growing up skating, surfing, and snowboarding help me stay upright. ;D
