Coast Guard ends search off Portland, Maine, confirms safety of kayak’s owner
BOSTON — The Coast Guard confirmed Monday that the owner of the unlabeled, orange kayak is alive and well after capsizing Sunday night near Fort Gorges, Maine.
The kayaker said she swam to shore after capsizing Sunday around 3:30 p.m. near Fort Gorges, and arrived safely on land at approximately 8 p.m.
The survivor had a life jacket while swimming to shore, but said the current was too strong to pull the kayak to land.
A good Samaritan called Coast Guard watchstanders at about 8:45 p.m. Sunday and reported finding a 10-foot, orange kayak in the water, with no kayaker aboard. Inside the paddle craft was only a bag containing a watch and a damaged cell phone.
Coast Guard aircrews and boat crews searched for more than 15 hours and more than 60 square miles with Maine Marine Patrol, Portland Fire Department, Portland Police Department, Cape Elizabeth Water Extrication Team, and good Samaritans.
The Coast Guard continues to emphasize the importance of informing local government agencies of a self-rescue, especially if a watercraft is left behind. Labeling a paddle craft with your name and contact information is crucial to giving search and rescue coordinators a starting point if your paddle craft turns up empty in the water or on shore.
Wearing a life jacket and having a reliable means of communication, such as a VHF radio in a water proof container, are also important when enjoying recreational water sports outside a surf or beach area.
