Kayaks capsize in Lake Jocassee
One kayaker was rescued safely; a second remains unaccounted for this morning — the result of a high winds early Saturday night at Lake Jocassee. Scott Krein of Oconee Emergency Preparedness says searchers are bringing in sonar equipment to help in the continuing search for a male kayaker from Georgia. Krein says two kayaks capsized. Around 7 Saturday night one of the kayakers, a female, was found holding onto her boat in the middle of the deep water lake. A dog on board made it safely to shore. According to Krein, the mishap was unrelated to a kayak competition earlier in the day. The two whose kayaks capsized were preparing to camp for the night in a remote area near the lake.
