It took just over a two hours for the KV fire department to find a man adrift in his boat the Kennebecasis River.
Deputy Chief Dan McCoy tells CHSJ news they got the call he was in trouble around 7:30 last night. McCoy says the man had left the peninsula side of the river, had mechanical problems, and was found further down the river.
The man had left from the Renforth yacht club and was found on his boat in shallow water. McCoy says they were able to find him before external resources like Saint John and Penniusala fire departments arrived on scene. He says the reason it took so long to find the missing man was because the man thought he was in a different location than he actually was.
McCoy says the man was cold and disoriented, but did not have to be sent to hospital.
