Hi TS

Yeah, I’m not really up to anchoring because of the swells. I keep thinking of flipping the yak. My friend flipped his twice when he was anchored.

I was thinking of making something to catch the kelp and tying off a float or fender to keep it on the surface and then clipping off to that. Also, I run my line through a quick release just in case.
