The two inexperienced adult males were paddling on a tandem kayak from Broadway Beach in Milford headed for Charles Island. Even though the water conditions were calm, the kayak did not have much free board with the victims sitting inside. The kayak started to take waves over the bow, eventually swamping the kayak. The kayak was sinking and the victims became submerged in the water which was 42 degrees. The victims were wearing PFDs and were submerged for approximately 30 minutes before Milford EMS rescued them. Both victims suffered from hypothermia.
