In short:

I strongly discourage fishing/diving alone (especially from a boat).

Check weather and wave conditions.

Wear a life vest while on a boat.

Longer story:

April 6th, I came home from work and started suiting up to go for a run with my dog. As I open the door to leave the landline phone starts to ring and the caller ID says its from a Boat towing company. A pit starts to develop in my stomach. I don’t answer and let it go to voicemail. The message left says they found a boat which they believed belonged to us, upturned in the surf near Moss Landing and they wanted to know if we would like them to get it.
