VT VT - Matthew Houskeeper, 59, last seen getting a haircut, car missing, phone inactive, missed work, Manchester, 14 Aug 2024

I was reading your post and it triggered a thought. Perhaps he's somewhere on land using the kayak as shelter? Very possible if it sprung a leak of some type he wasn't able to fix. I hope they are not only looking for the kayak on the water or beached.

I'm wondering if there was a leak and the kayak itself went under? Any kayakers on the thread who can comment if that is possible?

I learned how to captain a canoe and paddle a kayak since I was a child. I could see a canoe sink in odd circumstances, but kayaks are buoyant. I’ve never seen one sink.

Do people normally canoe in a reserve? Just curious. Don't know anything about kayaking. I'm trying to find the link where LE says his kayak was missing from his vehicle. Can someone help? Thank you.

I'm looking. There's this one, very last paragraph is asking people to be looking for the kayak, which implies the above. They wouldn't be looking for the kayak if it was with his abandoned car. IMO. Edited to add: they are specifically looking for a blue and white kayak.
