We picked up some stranded kayakers today.... they weren't exactly dressed for the trip

[aphex]

We got stuck in a storm out on my friends boat today, 20-25 minutes of torrential downpour and wind. We just rode it out, no cabin unfortunately.

After the rain let up we start heading back in to find another fishing spot and came across some guy in a kayak yelling for help. Turns out his friends tied off to each other before the storm and got swept out to the middle of Sarasota bay. We go out looking for them and come across two kayaks slowly working their way back.

Anyway, one of them hops in the boat and we tie off the other one and tow it back. Now, this is the weird part. Two of them (out of three total we went out to get) were in what appeared to be their bra and panties. All of them, including the guy who yelled for help and stayed by the shore appeared to be stoned. They were talking about taking a kayak to whats know around here as mini-beercan island so they could lay on hammocks. Well, mini-beercan island takes a good 30 minutes by boat, it would have taken them 7+ hours each way.

Now, my rhetorical question. What possesses stoned teenagers (we assumed, they appeared to be college freshmen going to New College here in town) to take a kayak out in a storm in their underpants to find a hammock?

haha that's funny.

I like to go out kayaking and fishing on one of the lakes nearby. On Memorial Day, a friend of mine and I went out fishing, and there's this little sandbar called Gilligan's Island that had maybe twenty or so pontoon boats pulled up on it and drunk people everywhere. Se we went past them and fished for a couple hours, drinking a 12 pack. We then headed back to the sandbar and pulled up to finish our remaining beers. There were four kegs just on the nearest pontoon boat, and a couple of really buff, well tanned preppy looking guys wanted to try to race each other in the kayaks, and said we could drink for free if they could use them, so we said sure and then spent the next twenty minutes laughing uncontrollably at the guys trying to get into the kayaks. Not only could they not paddle, they couldn't even launch. It was great.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that people underestimate the amount of work that goes into kayaking, especially across lakes and into the wind. They were probably thinking it would be a nice leisurely cruise / boatie but then got overwhelmed by the rain.
