RedactedNarrative: Vessel – 2018, 12’ Oru Bay Kayak
  
  On 03/19/2019, at about 07:05 p.m., this vessel was rowing/paddling/changing direction on Lake Sammamish, located near Redmond, WA in King county.
  
  According to Law Enforcement, Operator was kayaking in this vessel and was a couple hundred yards off shore just NE of Idylwood Park.  It was windy and Operator described being “blown over” resulting in the kayak capsizing.  Operator was unable to de-water and re-enter his kayak so he swam to shore.
  
  Operator made it to a private dock where he was able to climb out of the water but was otherwise unable to move or speak due to his exposure to the cold water.  After being noticed by property owners as he was grunting and moaning at the end of the dock, Redmond Police were summoned and determined the nature of the medical emergency.
  
  Operator was admitted to Overlake Hospital with a core body temperature of 87.3°F.  Operator’s kayak was recovered by Officers the following day after being located by a Lake Sammamish community member.
