Missing kayakers found in Chatham
August 08, 2007
CHATHAM – Two kayakers were found in the fog at the Stage Harbor buoy last night after an intense multi-agency search.
Police were called about the two missing men shortly after 8 p.m., according to a police official.
Fire and police personnel searched the beaches and harbor master and U.S. Coast Guard boats searched the water, Chatham Fire Capt. Matt Flynn said.
A Coast Guard boat found the men at about 10 p.m. and they were safely returned to shore, Chatham harbor master Stuart Smith said.
The men apparently went out fishing and did not have any communications equipment with them, Smith said.
“The report was they were in between Morris Island and Monomoy,” he said.
The concern was that the men would get out into Nantucket Sound before they were found, he said. “It’s tough to find kayaks in the middle of the night in the dark in the fog,” Smith said.
