A bit of excitement for one kayaker in Saint John yesterday evening. City fire crews were called to the coast off Sea Street on the West Side at about six o’clock last night for a kayaker in distress. When crews arrived they found a man clinging to the side of his boat about 600 feet out, trying to paddle to shore. Fire fighters swam out to meet the man and attached a line to his kayak, pulling him to shore. He was not hurt.
