RedactedNarrative: Operator told the deputy that he had a boat get away from him while he was at shore, so he hopped in a kayak to retrieve his other boat. 
  
  The wind and waves caused him to capsize. He called for help. A person on shore heard his calls and called 911. Deputies responded and put their boat in at the public access. They were able to get the man into their boat with the assistance of another boat manned by Cook County Search and Rescue members. He was brought to shore at Sand Point, loaded into the ambulance and transported to the hospital. 
  
  He was conscious and coherent when the officers found him in the water. He was not wearing a life jacket. Alcohol was not a factor. He was given a verbal warning for not having the life jackets on board. There is no registration information for the kayak.
