Two Recover After Water Rescue in Pawleys Island

Two people were hospitalized following a water rescue in Pawleys Island yesterday afternoon. Two men were kayaking in the ocean about 60 to 100 yards from shore when their boat overturned in 50-degree water. One man was found hanging onto the kayak, while the second was found floating somewhere between the kayak and the shore. Luckily both had been wearing life vests at the time and were quickly rescued. The two men were transported to a nearby hospital where they are being treated for hypothermia with no other injuries reported.
