Yesterday, we responded to a 911 emergency call for two missing kayakers in the waters between St. Ignace and Mackinac Island. The kayakers paddled out, grew tired, flipped over their kayaks, and could not get back in.
Luckily USCG Station St. Ignace from U.S. Coast Guard Sector Northern Great Lakes had deployed their small boat, which was first on the scene and were able to get the people and their equipment safely onboard.
As the weather continues to warm up, please review this Water Safety Announcement. We want you to enjoy the water while being smart and safe about it!
