Saw a guy do it just this weekend. The not-quite-hilarious part was his statements as I paddled up to the dock. He warned me to be careful getting out of my kayak, since he'd just fallen into the river while attempting to enter his kayak. He went on to explain how he leaned too far over on the river side, and went over.

I briefly discussed some stuff I've picked up on... keep low, butt on the back deck, don't attempt it when the power boats are passing by. He had this stubby & wide rec boat, with a ridiculously high seat back, precluding him from sliding off the back deck and into the large cockpit.

By this time, he's in the kayak, less PFD . I mentioned mine, noting the high back lets me slip into the cockpit a little easier. He pointed out his PFD's existence... tucked away in the rear of the kayak, behind said big seat... and said he'd put it on if he had trouble. I wished him luck, trying to keep as much sarcasm out of my voice as I could. I've got enough problems getting into my PFD when I'm on shore, much less when I'm in the water. He paddled away, saying he'd do his best to stay dry. *facepalm*
