Victim 1 and operator 1 are the same person and she was using a borrowed 14' Old Town Kayak for the first time in windy conditions.  Her boyfriend and victim 1 were heading out to Kineo Island from the Rockwood boat launch. Victim 1 stated a wave came from behind and flipped her out of the kayak and she could not get back in.  Boyfriend called 911. Victim 1 was pulled from water by Rockwood Fire/rescue and transported to Greenville - CA Dean Hospital - by ambulance where Victim 1 was treated for exposure and released. Victimc 1 stated that this was the first time she had ever been in a Kayak. Victim 1 stated in a phone interview that she had been wearing a PFD. They were going to camp on the island- so overloading of small kayaks could have been a contributing factor.
