re: Former South Carolina QB and Tuscaloosa native Chris Smelley missing UPDATE: FOUND

Easier to do than you’d think. I rented a kayak for my niece and nephew one year at seaside and they used it for about ten minutes and then it was just sitting there so I hopped on it without a jacket and ripped out. Paddled and paddled and by the time I turned around to see how far I’d gone the beach was just a thin white line on the horizon. Freaked out a little and paddled back as fast as I could.
