Anyone loose a yellow 9m slingshot at SPB?? While doing a downwinder with Ron and heading past bongos I found it 200yards out wrapped around a crap trap float. The float and bar were completely submerged and I could not see them. Was going to cut it loose and bring it in, but I was already overpowered on my 15M and ultimately decided it would be better to have someone with a boat recover it... just in case a rider may have gotten tangled and pulled under and drowned.

Came in and Ron and I used a tourists cellphone to call water rescue at Eckerd College and sent them out there to retrieve it. We told them that worse case someone could still be attached to it.

Hopefully they retrieved only a kite. Anyone know the rest of the story?
