| It might not have been a force 6 when they put out, although it would probably have been forecast. However, if they were sea kayaking they may have been away for several days without contact where the forecast may not have been accurate. There is a worrying tendancy among seakayakers (in my patch anyway) to not carry a VHF, although this is changing. I have been out kayaking in more than that and run safety cover for a kayaking race in more than that, but then im an instructor and used to do that kind of thing for a living.
We cannot and should not presume they went out deliberatley in a force 6.
