Published: October 16, 2004
Living through an accident, getting rescued, makes you realize there are no ‘common’ rescues.
Every rescue is special.
Coast Guard crews rescued about 30 kayakers today who were stranded after heavy rain swelled the Waialua River on Kauai.
Officials say two groups of kayakers were safely returned to the boat ramp at the mouth of the river. No injuries were reported.
A 23-foot Coast Guard vessel and two smaller boats were used in the rescue effort.
The smaller boats picked up the stranded kayakers and transported them to an area where the larger boat could pick them up.
Officials say the operation was completed by 6 p-m.
