Welcome to our swim blog... it's all about swimming in the ocean, mostly in the La Jolla, California area. We're open-minded, open-water fans -- enjoying local marine creatures, fish, yellow tails, birds and even the occasional human swimming by... Just like to get BACK TO THE WATER, whenever and as often as we can!

Saw a kayaker get rescued by a helicopter
Talya and Amber and I were swimming back to the Cove from the Marine Room when we saw the lifeguards drive up on the beach right in front of the Marine Room. Next thing you know, the SDFD helicopter is flying back and forth over us. Apparently a kayaker got stuck on the rocks just north of the caves. Someone from the helicopter was lowered to the rocks and pulled the kayaker up into the helicopter. That won't be a cheap bill! And yes the water was lovely lol

How could you get stuck on the rocks today?! The water was calm. All that must have happened after we left the cove. Such excitement!
ReplyDeleteI don't think she was 'stuck on the rocks’. I believe she capsized on the rocks and was injured, so she couldn't kayak back. At least that is what I heard, after we got back to the cove. You definitely wouldn't have missed it Toni, it was pretty noticeable and quite dramatic.
