Teens rescued from drifting boat on Georgian Bay

Two teens in a rowboat were carried out into the open waters of Georgian Bay by 15-knot winds and metre-high waves. They were found after a marine and air search effort located them 13 kilometres offshore from Balm Beach.
The two were found around 5:40 p.m. yesterday after a Hercules transport plane from CFB Trenton's search and rescue team, spotted their tiny craft bobbing in the swells. The two were taken to Midland hospital and released.
