(KAIR)--Strong winds are being blamed for an overturned kayak that led to a weekend water rescue by the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism.
According to the department's “Game Warden” Facebook page, the rescue unfolded on the Perry Reservoir, when a game warden spotted the overturned kayak, and saw a woman without a life jacket struggling in the waves of the water.
According to the post, winds were gusting at around 35 mph at the time of the rescue.
The game wardens went to work to save the woman by managing to get a life jacket to her. The game wardens then used a rescue bag to get her to safety aboard the patrol boat.
The post does not say whether or not the woman required medical attention following the water rescue, and her name has not been made public.
