[Paddlewise] kayaker in the hospital

A hypothermic sea kayaker was found in the water west of Lumi Island around 1:30 PM today and is in the hospital in Bellingham Washington.  Sargent Frakes was calling around to kayakers in the community to try to get help identifying him this afternoon.  I called the Bellingham Police Department a few minutes ago and they said they did finally identify him and his family is on the way.  I was told they are still rewarming him.  The victim is a white male weighing about 180 lbs. with dark hair and a beard. He was wearing glasses.  His boat was a Northwest Cadence with a grey deck and a white hull.
