RedactedNarrative: According to a Coast Guard MISLE report, the operator launched from the beach on Garrish Island near the pier at approximately 1100. After approximately 10 minutes of paddling into the waves his kayak was flipped by a wave.  He was able to re-right himself with his paddles before immediately being rolled over by another wave.  This wave pushed him out of the kayak skirt.  He surfaced and righted the kayak before trying to climb in.  After realizing he was unable to climb back into the kayak and wasn’t able to swim to shore he flipped the kayak upside down and shoved his arms through the skirt, wedging himself in the kayak.  Using his legs he kicked and when he felt dizzy he tipped the kayak to let fresh air in.  He did hear a boat approaching, hoped it was for him and with his last strength he raised his hand before passing out. There was a life jacket in his forward bilge that he was not able to get to when he flipped over.
