Florida authorities have found the owner of an abandoned kayak discovered floating off Key Largo. A man says he lost the kayak six weeks ago almost 600 miles away. The U.S. Coast Guard launched a search after the kayak was spotted Tuesday, but didn’t find anyone. An Internet search led authorities to the only two U.S. distributors of the South African-manufactured kayak and eventually to the kayak’s owner, lawyer San Dawson of the Cayman Islands, who was knocked off the kayak by a wave six weeks ago. Dawson’s kayak followed the currents for six weeks. It likely drifted northwest, past Cuba, through the Yucatan Channel to the Florida Straits and then flowed with the Gulf Stream north to Key Largo, authorities said.
