30-knot winds 7-10 foot conditions and 40-degree water? ... and in a double? Something is definitely missing up top. I don't think I'd throw a fish into those conditions!

Thanks for the reminder; it's important to remember how dangerous the sport can be. No one can survive a fluke accident but these guys should have made it home for dinner. A good overview of minimum safety requirements is at http://www.marinerkayaks.com My setup is nothing flashy but would have made it out of the first situation... never would have gone out in the second.
