While kayaking a female overturned her kayak. She was in the water for about an hour. The woman was wearing a life jacket and running suit. She was from FL and an inexperienced paddler in CT. The kayak was a sit on top model. A work boat in the area saw the blue kayak and at a distance thought it was a piece of styrofoam dock he was looking for. Upon approach he saw the victim and called emergency services. She was transported ashore and was found to be hypothermic and brought to the hospital. No information was able to be collected because the woman was so hypothermic and did not have any ID on her at the time. The PD handling the report is still collecting information regarding the accident and holding the kayak.
