Don't blame the portabote for this one. This is just an instance of being at the wrong place at the wrong time. He was too close to the breakers and got swamped. A kayak would have flipped there as well. However, not having a VHF radio and knowing how to use it is a big no no. Another is not having a whistle/air horn/flares. I would also stress to everyone that if you hear someone ask for a radio check over the VHF, please take your time to respond.

@@Adventurewithnhia I had to take the Boating Course online since my Kayak was modified with a Minn Kota motor. My Kayak is now considered a boat since it has a motor on it. Therefore, California requires a Boat owner to register my Motorized Kayak with DMV. A registered document of the Kayak will make it legal in California. Then, the owner is required by law to take the Boating Course online. Once the test is passed, then the owner will receive a Boating License. Studying and learning the Boating class is essential for the safety precautions when heading towards the Lake, Ocean, or River for fishing or just having fun. It's a must to learn even if it's just a non-motorized Kayak. Again, great job on the rescue and God bless.

Don’t even sweat it, it’s a great boat! I see it all the time on the water with no issues other than this one time. I even owned one and sold it to a viewer and he’s killing it on ocean fishing with the porta-Bote. Great thing is it floats and you’ll never sink or be in too crazy of a trouble if you bring the right safety gears like radio, whistle, life vest, a hand pump or bucket. It was user error and user fault for getting into that situation in that condition. Every vessel has its limits just don’t go over the limit of that vessel. Don’t worry about it and you’ll be fine, always go on good condition and check your conditions throughout the day. A aluminum boat will sink once water gets in at least these porta Bote floats you’ll just have to do what he did and ditch the engine. Be safe, have fun and enjoy the new Bote

I used to think the same before I even thought of going into the ocean. But over the years you pick and choose the better days, calmer days, and what aren’t worth your life days. California coast is sometimes unpredictable with fog with forecast always changing. But with the right safety gears and making sure you have them on the vessel makes it easier or more comfortable going out in the ocean. Every year we hear kayakers flipping and can’t get in, kayakers lost their kayak, and kayakers getting blown off but with the right gears you can call for help.

I own a porta bote but never used it, it’s so heavy but they work just like any other John boat just have to watch where you’re at and where you go. Like any boat know your limit. The guy from what I heard he went and bought himself a kayak after that sinking in the ocean. Kayak don’t sink if taken on water but if you take a hand pump you should be good on a kayak, I take my pump on every trip just in case myself or others might need to get water out.

He actually doesn’t have an anchor which at first I though so too, but it’s just a tow line and to drag the boat to shore/dock. It’s just a rope, he got lucky due to the floaties attachment on the porta bote or else it would of been all bad. Thank for watching. Giant swells creating big waves capsized his boat.

A little late to the party but always interested to watch a video re safety and a rescue. Great job first of all being alert enough to hear the man's pleas for help! You did the right things by assisting and radioing for help. And I'm sure since this happened you probably now know what you could've done better: When you were paddling towards him, the moment you first realized he was in distress, you should of got on channel 16 and said "may day may day, one person in a green boat is sinking 70 feet south of the half moon bay jetty." Repeat that phrase over and over until coast guard responds. Other tips: look up calling coast guard on vhf and practice. By practicing, you will be calmer when a situation arises. Even if that guy's boat was only 1/2 filled, and he says he doesn't need coast guards help but he can't bring his boat in, I would call coast guard on channel 16 and report it. Even if it's not a distress call, coast guard is very understanding. You're just alerting them of a possible situation and where it is occurring so they already aware and on standby. Know exactly where you are and landmarks surrounding you so you can give coast guard a more precise location. Again, great job and enjoy your vids.
@Adventurewithnhia 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks man! Yeah I watched many videos before buying a vhf radio and of how to use it, but when in real life situations and I’m in aawww like is this actually really happening? I switched to emergency button (red channel 16) but forget it was on lock mode on channel 69. Had to unlock the channel. I had to see if he was ok first and yeah even he was asking if I could drag him back in which I couldn’t. It’s one of those thing where you can prepared as much as you can and study but once it actually happens you forget how to do or act and try to do the best you can with the situation. I learned a lot just from this situation and I’m pretty sure he did too. Safety gears, knowledge and knowing how to get rescued or self rescue. I’m glad our fish finder these days has GPS and coordinates for a accurate location if ever out far beyond the landmarks. Hahaha I used to be like I watched enough videos and know exactly what to do if I was ever in that situation. Thanks for watching and comment. I’m just glad he’s safe and got to go home and fish another day.

Nice video. I have had a porta bote for years and i am very pleased with it! I am jyst curious, did you find out why his bote sank? They seem pretty unsinkable? I have seen videos of people dropping porta botes from 40 feet down into the ground and they did not break. Did he have a big engibe and slammed into something?
@Adventurewithnhia 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks, yeah the Porta Bote is pretty much unsinkable but he went out during the thick fog with no gps and found himself in the no boat zone. Halfmoon bay has a reef or rock that pops out the water during low tide and when in high tide it’s dangerous enough to flip/sink boats. Swells were somewhat bad and for that rock area it’s really bad so he ate the waves head on and the second wave took him under. No gps to let him know he’s in the danger area. It’s not the boat but the person going beyond what the boat was capable of. He said waves was big as a house.

@@Adventurewithnhia yes i figured! I have been out in pretty rough waters in the sea. Not a pleasent experience. Water flooded in over the bow when going against the waves. The porta bote is pretty wind sensitive also. It behaves sort of like a leaf when it is very windy. I use my boat when fishing a small lake close to where i live. It is perfect for that!

I had a 14ft porta bote that I didn’t really used much as my kayak is way easier to travel and fish for my car so I sold it. They are a great boat especially for a foldable vessel! I owned and gave my buddy my inflatable kayak as it is like you said like a leaf on a windy day it gets blown all over the place. Porta Bote are great I just wish I had people to use it with. I always tell people to carry a pump to pump out water if any does roll over and in for both Porta Bote and kayak.

I do not know what you got to do to a PB for it to go down. it is naturally buoyant, so looks like he had anchor dragging the bow under. not knowing how to set anchor is very dangerous.
@Adventurewithnhia Жыл бұрын
From what he said was that the front rope was for dragging his boat at the dock and if by shore, I even asked him and it’s not a anchor rope. Ocean guys usually use drift socks. It was just a bad condition day and he went to a zone that everyone avoids and he said a set of waves sizes of a house rolled in, he made the first wave but the second landed ontop of the boat capsizing the Porta Bote. If he had gps and avoided that area he would of been fine, but fog and no gps he was pretty much lost in the conditions. Porta Bote went down due to all his gears, he had to ditch everything even his motor to stay a float. Be safe and carry self rescue gears and gps to know where your at or if call coast guards they can know your location to save you. It weird I still remember this day very clearly.
@KoShuFW Жыл бұрын
@nhiavangfoto i own a pb and it is interesting to me to figure out circumstances. I understood that he got the bote completely filled with water, but why on earth did he not cut the rope? Pb would still float while completely filled. It would also be possible to actually attempt to bail the water out. 3 hours is a long time to try something. Looks like no fault of the boat.

how did the porta boat sink ? did he smash into something ? I thought portaboats wont sink and they do very well on the waves and swells. What happened here ?
@Adventurewithnhia 4 жыл бұрын
Meril Mathew from what I heard by his friend is in the fog he drifted or went over King Rock. King Rock is a reef that is about 20ft depending on the tide and the water around it is in its 60-70ft deep so with a random swells like on this day a 5ft swell in 60ft is cake but over that reef can be over 10ft crashing waves scary. He went into the crashing waves and took on water enough to sink, if it wasn’t for his fast thinking of ditching the motor I think it would of been really bad. Lucky the foam on the boat kept him up enough above water. It’s like everything it’s not the vessel but the operator/captain, know what you can handle and where you are. Simple mistake that could of turned really bad.

You are right, every year people go out not thinking of the dangers of the open water and of how fast things can change, I’ve been out on calm days and turned nasty in hours I can’t imagine being far out and not be able to come back in. I try to tell people about the same safety gears like you said and I tell people get a wetsuit or dry suit in case you fall in so you don’t get hypothermia or sting be jellyfish but people don’t listen. People go out in waders and that’s so sketchy. I can’t imagine what you hear and know of the amount of people need saving or life lost. Always safety first. Like in this video my battery was getting low so I started heading back in and go lucky I went back in when I did and heard him. Hopefully he buys some safety gears before heading back out.

They are good, works great, and floats like in this video although you might have to dump everything inside the boat as to the foams on the wall will keep you on the surface than sinking. It’s just not a good condition on this day plus not knowing where the waves crashes was his issue. Always know where you are at fog or not and every vessel has its limits just don’t go beyond your vessel’s limit and you’ll be fine. It’s a good boat. I still see Porta bote out there fishing with me or around me. I sold my porta bote to a viewer and he’s killing it on rockfish out in the ocean and in San Francisco Bay. I never bought a motor for it so it was sad to see it sold but glad it’s being used and fish coming from it.
