Matt had previously written "Andrew may have had to get into the water to stop his kayak from filling further while trying to make repairs or correct the situation somehow and call for help. It also seems likely to me from the distress call description that he may have lost touch with his kayak and then been unable to swim as fast as it was blowing away. That is not an uncommon experience for those who end up in the water in a strong wind." Sorry Matt, I misunderstood you but can now see what you mean't.
