SEATTLE (AP) — Two men attempting an overnight kayak trip from Bainbridge Island to Seattle capsized in Puget Sound and had to be rescued.
One had a cell phone and called for help about 2 a.m. Friday. The Coast Guard and Seattle Fire Department boats started a search.
Battalion Chief Alan Cox says the two were spotted about two miles off shore and pulled aboard a fire boat.
The two men in their 20s had been in the water nearly an hour.
One was able to walk ashore. The other was taken by stretcher to Harborview Medical Center to be treated for hypothermia.
