Apparently someone went offshore in a kayak, and figured they 
didn't need to wear their PFD.  Yes, Gulf waters are warm, but
you can still drown, especially if you are several miles from land,
which apparently the guy was.   Not sure what kind of kayak it
was, or what other circumstances were involved.

The Houston Chronicle reported that PFD and water bottle were
attached to the boat.
