Guess the skier missed him too?
Unless Lake Winnipesaukee is really rough, I go without wearing a PFD for this very reason (an emergency dive). The article reads like a "distressed" kayaker could use a sun-reflecting signaling device too. (A CD is free and
very effective).

The article says he had "several people on board": A spotter can be a youthful one (and could be "texting").
I applaud those
disciplined skippers who haul tubes
and keep their eyes ahead at all times.
