i had a friend that got towed 11 miles in a kayak down south Ga once.
of course the current blew him down the beach as well. he made it to shore
and found somebody willing to go up the beach and find the boys and give his location for pick up.
blown out to sea and down the beach i dont know what i would think. i would have probably cut the line before land disappeard though. this shark is nice but if your use to catching sharks as a targeted spieces, here in the south hes pretty standard.
