Two kayakers rescued

08/18/01
Two kayakers were rescued after overturning near Shark's Reef on southwest side of Lopez Island yesterday afternoon. The man and the boy spent more than half an hour in the water. Construction workers heard the two screaming for help and notified the sheriff's office shortly before noon.

The Coast Guard launched a vessel with a 45 minute ETA. A Coast Guard helicopter was also called out. The sheriff headed out in the county's boat.

A private boater reached one kayaker and took him ashore at King's Point on Lopez. The other kayaker was rescued by people in a rowboat.

More details will be available Monday. This story will be updated then.
