Kayakers in Door County experienced changing weather conditions on the water Tuesday afternoon that required assistance from the Sister Bay/Liberty Grove Fire Department and Door County Emergency Services. Fire Chief Chris Hecht says the elderly couple having trouble getting to shore off of the Rowleys Bay Resort when someone on shore called 911 about 4:40 p.m. The Kayakers were able to land their watercraft but needed help to get back to their vehicle. Hecht says anyone venturing on the waters of Lake Michigan and the bay of Green Bay needs to be very cautious, especially this time of year.
Hecht says always wear a life jacket, carry your cell phone in a waterproof bag, and leave a float plan with someone else before you head out on the water.
