RedactedNarrative: On 01/15/2015 at approximately 2140 hours Officer and I responded to a priority call on the Rhode River.  The call was for a person who had fallen in the water in the vicinity of Cadle Creek.  We arrived on scene and found the subject clinging to the stern ladder of his sailboat with two rescue swimmers from Anne Arundel Fire Department. The victim was wearing a life jacket at the time we arrived on scene. The victim was later identified.  Victim was retrieved from the water by the fire department personnel.  Officer and I brought the rescue swimmers onto our vessel and took them to shore.  The creek was mostly covered in ice and it was difficult to maneuver around.  Officer retrieved some of the victims clothing which was left on the pier.  We checked the area around the vessel from which Victim was rescued.  There was a blue kayak which was upside down in front of the sailboat that belonged to Victim, it was approximately 8 feet in length. The sailboat had a documented name of "Piper's Dream" out of Hampton, Virginia.  The sailboat was secured to a mooring ball located near the middle of the creek.  
   
   
    Victim was transported to Anne Arundel Medical Center by ambulance.  He was conscious throughout the ordeal and did not appear to have any injuries.  We returned to Liberty Marina and then went to the hospital to meet Victim as we did not have any information about the victim at the time.  Victim was in good spirits and he was being treated for hypothermia.  Victim admitted to being in the kayak.  He told me that he was trying to get to his sailboat but he underestimated the difficulty of navigating through the ice.  He told me that he was trying to navigate from the kayak to the sailboat when the kayak overturned.  Victim told me that he was able to swim to the stern of the sailboat and lock one of his arms around the swim ladder to help keep his upper body out of the water.  At that time he began yelling for help until a resident heard him and requested emergency assistance.
   
   
   
    All events occurred in Anne Arundel County, Maryland.
