Nature is healing

Today, I was kayaking with my family for my birthday when we tipped over while going down a rocky cascade. My husband badly cut up his arm, and my car keys and my phone both went for a swim and never returned. Great birthday. FML

Probably not a wise decision to take your keys and phone with you. Sorry OP

tipping over is part of kayaking. did you guys have a guide or just rented some kayaks and winged it? it sucks that you lost your keys and phone but you really shouldnt have brought them along.

Why exactly did you have your phone with you while kayaking?? and keys should be in some kind of secured bag or something. ydi

and if there's an emergency and someone needs to call 911 or something...?

At least now you know how that was not a well thought out plan. Sorry you lost your belongings, and I hope your husband is okay, but at least you'll have a story to tell.

Sorry but thats a YDI, dont take those items on kayak trips

This is why you ALWAYS put any valuables in a floating dry bag that is secured to the kayak. Hope your birthday got better from then on though.

My kayak has a watertight built in container at the back that you can put in food and anything you want to keep dry and safe

Yours might be well cared for enough to *stay* watertight, but most rental kayaks I've used don't seem to be. That space will still keep stuff in the kayak, if not dry, though putting anything in there in ziploc bags solves that too.

I think I just passed a fish texting and driving...

Why would you take that with you? I never take my phone or keys when I go kayaking! FYL

Sarah... My kayak's sinking, I don't know what to do!
