Farrington Rescue

[cmoran719]

So my friend was the one who flipped his kayak and I was with him. He was luckily able to pull himself onto the ice to lay on it. I couldn't get his kayak to flip back over and the shoreline was pretty far away, so I called rescue.

A lady ended up bringing an extra kayak out and the police gave me some rope to tow the 2nd kayak out to him and he was able to get in it. Then we just rowed to shore.

Was pretty crazy, very windy day too. Luckily it was warm so once he got onto the ice he was not too cold.

Hopefully you guys were wearing PFDs.

"Through a joint effort of police and firefighters, the man was rescued and given medical care on shore, police said."

I guess that sounds better for the police than the actual story of "the police gave his friend some rope and had his friend tow him back to the shore."

Glad everyone was okay.
