Ok my last video journal of the project (everyone cheers!!) Day 13 final day, using sonar to find crab pots that had lost their floats. Grabbed pot 28, 29, 30 (& a bunch of old wood) More days we'd have more pots out. #crabs #kayak #kayaking #seafood #traps #chesapeakeBay #NNK youtu.be/SNeLKYylQ9M

yeah the challenge is real. Luckily MD/VA started improving the chesapeake watershed about 15 yrs ago and its had a big impact. I am worried about NOAA though. None of it happens w/o them. Good Luck in Texas. Nature is resilient if you give it a chance.

Brilliant. My wife and I do it as a kayak hobby on our shoreline, and one of the non-profits I work with has a few organized creek clean ups organized each year. Never a port-a-potty though 👍 I started a program this winter collecting ghost pots (lost crab traps) www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Deluxe Anti-Exposure Overall and Flotation Suit
Mustang Survival's MS2195 Deluxe Anti-Exposure Coverall and Flotation Suit is designed with Mustang Airsoft™ foam for a lighter and more comfortable fit than the Classic Flotation Suit. Comfort Cuff™ technology creates a relaxed, comfortable fit around the wrists, and is matched by the overall relaxed and comfortable fit of the suit design. Featuring two chest pockets, large front cargo pockets and an inflatable head pillow for additional in-water support and buoyancy, this suit blends functionality and features to meet the demands of a wide-range of professional and industrial uses. Mustang Survival flotation suits are designed to protect the wearer from foul or cold weather, and use closed-cell foam to offer flotation and hypothermia protection in the event of water immersion. Tug-Tite® technology and Velcro™ wrist and ankle closures improve fit and limit water flushing if immersed, SOLAS reflective tape enhances visibility and an insulated hood is easily stowed in the collar for convenience.

Rick... Educate yourself on US Coast Guard issue Mustang survival suits. I have been paddling 50 years, do about over 500 miles of kayaking a year, and I present footage that is always both responsible and learned experience. I appreciate your passion for everyone else's safety.
