[Paddlewise] Rescue of kayakers off Gig Harbor ,WA, Oct. 4

Hi!
    The article in the (Tacoma) News Tribune says (paraphrased) The crew of 
the Coast Guard cutter Adelie rescued two of eight kayakers from the water. The 
other six were able to make it to shore safely. This was at Carr Inlet near 
Gig Harbor. 
    Wind gusts of 40 MPH blew tree limbs into power lines and knocked out 
pawer. The Coast Guard received reports of boats going adrift and overturning and 
boaters being blown into the water throughout the region.
    Anyone have any idea of who was involved and what happened? Sounds as if 
it turned out OK.
