OPP rescue stranded boaters in Tay Township

On Monday evening, officers rescued two stranded boaters from Hogg Bay in Tay Township, Southern Georgian Bay OPP say.

At about 7:40 p.m., police say they responded to a 24-foot vessel in distress.

The boat had mechanical difficulties and went adrift in the dark when there were strong winds, which created four-foot swells,  police add.

Officers say they found the boat and its occupants safe, deep in the weedy shoreline on the east side of Paradise Point.

The boat and its occupants were removed without incident, police say, and an equipment check found that the vessel had all the required safety gear.
