RedactedNarrative: 05-26-12 KOHALA, HI Kayakers rescued after being blown three miles off the Kohala Coast  hawaii247.com (05-26-12) Fire/rescue crews responded to a 12:17 p.m. alarm Sat. (05-26) for a report of missing kayakers off the Kohala coastline. A 29 y/o woman and an eight y/o girl were last seen in a kayak about 200 yds. offshore in rough surf with NE winds blowing at 20-35 mph with gusts to 45 mph or more. The trade winds and heavy ocean whitecaps made it impossible to spot the kayakers from shore. Two FD helicopters joined the search and the kayakers were found 3 mi. offshore near the windline by Chopper One just S. of the spot they were last seen. A fire/rescue specialist dropped into the water and helped the kayakers into a Billy Pugh rescue net. The girl and woman were flown to shore. Neither kayaker had injuries. The Nat'l. Weather Service in Honolulu has issued a small craft advisory for all Hawaiian waters due to the strong trade winds. http://www.hawaii247.com/2012/05/26/kayakers-rescued-after-being-blown-three-miles-off-the-kohala-coast/
