16' Cataraft
We don’t know why it flipped, but a 14′ kayak tipped itself over, dumping its middle-aged passenger into the frigid Clackamas River on Saturday. While rescue teams scrambled to scoop him out of the water, the skipper clung to a rock. Water rescue teams used a special 16 foot boat (a model is pictured left) to get across the choppy waves and drag the man to the nearby shore. He had to get checked by a doctor but the good news is he is in one piece and doing just fine.
