An 83-year-old kayaker was rescued Tuesday afternoon from Oceanside Harbor after she was spotted floating unconscious in the water, officials said.
Oceanside Police Department harbor officers were alerted at about 1 p.m. to a report of a person floating in the water.
The woman had apparently fallen out of the kayak and the kayaked overturned, according to a news release from the Oceanside Police Department.
Lifeguards swam to the woman and officers responded by boat. That’s when they saw the kayaker, who was wearing a life vest, floating unconscious.
They brought the woman onto the boat and brought her back to shore, where she was breathing, semi-conscious, but still unresponsive.
The woman, an 83-year-old known to frequent the harbor, was taken to Tri City Medical Center. Her condition there wasn’t immediately known.
