(KAIR)--No one was hurt when a sailboat ran a-ground on Lake Perry during a July 4 holiday weekend storm that brought winds in excess of 90 mph.
According to a release from the Game Wardens for the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, the occupants of the vessel were staying aboard overnight when the storm struck, leading to the grounding of the sailboat.
Game Wardens were able to get the occupants, along with some essential gear, off of the boat and to safety.
The release notes that the situation serves as a reminder to check weather prior to hitting the water, and to pay attention to changing weather conditions while on the water.
