RedactedNarrative: The remains of a 55-year-old man who went missing in his kayak this week were discovered Friday morning, U.S. Coast Guard spokesperson Petty Officer said.
  
  A tugboat crew early Friday spotted a bright yellow kayak near the community of Tyonek on the western shore of Cook Inlet, about 43 miles from Anchorage. The tugboat wasn’t able to get close enough for the crew to see into the boat, but a good Samaritan vessel nearby responded and discovered the body said.
  
  The vessel's crew was able to immediately recover the kayak and body. An Anchorage Fire Department boat crew was on its way to meet the vessel and take possession of both. 
  
  The man went missing Monday night. [3] Earlier that day, he had called 911 and asked for immediate help because his canoe was sinking in Knik Arm with himself and two dogs on board. He told emergency responders he had a life vest with him, but when he was rescued by a floatplane pilot from Rust’s Flying Service, he was clinging to his boat and said his life preserver had floated away.
  
  The pilot flew the man and the dogs to Lake Hood in Anchorage, where they were met by emergency responders. But before the day was over, the man was headed back into the swift tidal waters of Knik Arm in his kayak.
  
  “Based on the report we received from his family, he had discussed going out to anchor his canoe from the original rescue,”.
  
  The man's sister reported him missing Tuesday morning. He was last seen wearing a blue life jacket over a black jacket.
