Hi 

There are several stories here on kayakers being rescued from more or less
stupid situations. I thought I should bring one which was slightly
different.

A 12 year old kid was carried from shore in his inflatable play-boat by the
current (or perhaps wind). He did not have the power to get to shore. His
problems was spotted by a fisherman who called upon a group a nearby
kayakers who then brought the kid and his boat ashore again. The kid was
unharmed but a bit more experienced afterwards.

Cheers,
    Kasper
