Okay I am second!!
Before i got out i stowed everything that can move inside my kayak, including my HAT (Roby).Nothing is on top of the kayak but the bait tank and the seat.
From all the PM's i received in the past on how to stay dry, i now happily sit by the water and watch them break i count the waves and wait for the lull., i do this 3 or 4 times and finally wait for the last wave to come in, as the last wave goes back into the ocean i hop in my kayak and paddle as fast as i can. Home free... Then i open the front hatch, put my hat and rod and reels into place take out my fishing bag etc.
I had never experienced swells like the swells we had there today... I mean i literally felt like Patrick Swazee going up that big swell and all the way down. It was like a roller coaster.
Had lots of fun...
On the way back i packed everything in again.
On the way back i took my time, and i got as close as I could. I coun'ted the sets waited for the lull paddle in as fast i can Jumped out and was home free. I stayed dried
