To not lose it on solo kayaking in area of strong wind you should always have rope which is connecting you and kayak. That rope can be simple rope tie to your PFD and kayak. Problem is how long that rope should be, cause sometimes rope can be complication if is long and going in the Sea and bodering you.
That is custom thing to do. Conclusion is that is always good to be tied to your kayak but also that connection (rope) should be simple and quick able to relase (like quick relase).
It's easy to be general after battle but if Andrew McAuley (movie Solo - 2008) was tied to his kayak on journey from Australia to New Zealand his body would be find not only kayak. :(
But I think overall these tips are more for local paddling and small time exploration. I think for that type of expedition, the rules are multiplied by quite a lot!
Still, thanks for pointing that out. Cheers!
