GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — A kayaker is expected to recover after being rescued on Lake Michigan early Tuesday by a U.S. Coast Guard aircrew.

The Coast Guard says an aircrew from the Traverse City station was dispatched to help a kayaker who was adrift off the coast of Montrose Harbor in Chicago.

The aircrew spotted the kayaker using infrared cameras just before 1 a.m. Tuesday and helped lead a response boat from the USCG station in Kenosha, Wisconsin, to the kayaker.

The kayaker was taken for a medical check after getting to shore.

In a social media post , the Traverse City station called the rescue “an excellent example of the teamwork between U.S. Coast Guard Great Lakes (stations) coming together to accomplish the mission.”
