Hi Joe,
My neighbors lost their kayak overboard last night and I was hoping you would post this photo of it on the slim chance that it is still floating around in the harbor somewhere. People can call Anne at 978.281.4476 if they find it!
Thanks,
~Bill O’Connor

Bruce MacDonald chimes in with some useful information:
Hi Joey!
I saw the posting on the lost kayak and thought it might be useful to remind the GMG’ers about the Vessel Identification Sticker for Canoe, Kayak or Rowboat. They are usually available at the Coast Guard and Harbormasters office and serve a couple of purposes.
First, if it gets stolen or floats away, there are points of contact information on it, second if a canoe or kayak is found floating off shore and a man overboard is suspected, the same contact info may be used to confirm that someone may be missing or OK.
I hope this helps!

Good Morning Gloucester 
You might want to check with the Harbor Master’s office to see if anyone reported finding it.

It’s a good idea to have your name & contact info written, in magic marker, inside the cockpit.

If you lose a kayak this way, it’s always best to report it missing to the harbor master or Coast Gaurd immediately, because they may launch a search and rescue looking for the person that goes along with the boat!
