Kaeding says high wind and waves flipped the boat, dumping the couple into the water.

He says the 24-year-old woman managed to make it to shore and found a cabin two hours later, when police were called.

Mounties are reminding boaters to be prepared before they head out on the water.

No names have been released. (CKRW)
