Bill Whalen Posted May 16, 2023 Author Share Posted May 16, 2023 Kayakers have been located and picked up by a good samaritan boater off Cat Island. Lucky ending to what could have been a very sad story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pintail Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 ...and you can bet your bottom dollar that children were not dressed for cold water! (What is ocean temperature, locally, at present? Around 50F?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
