That’s what I was thinking. I can’t recall seeing someone kayak out to a zodiac, which would be used to get to a yacht or even a nice boat.
Seems like more work than it’s worth...
I would think you just hire someone at the marina to ferry you or one of the crew on your yacht uses the zodiac on board.
Wait a minute. Now that I think of it, he could have kayak’d for a while and as a matter of haste, had one of the crew pick him up.
I could see that...
zodiac is tied to the boat, he’s just using it to get onto the boat. pretty good balance for an old guy.
Usually the kayak and the dinghy are kept with the boat. You use one or the other but not both. Since he has his bag it doesn’t seem like he was out kayaking but used the kayak to get to the boat. The ladder is to get up to the big boat.
It actually look like the last time he anchored he used the kayak to get to shore so was just using it to get back out.
