One victim retrieved by CFB01 and being taken to Herrington Harbor South, the second being pulled out at long pier in North Beach. Another storm is approaching, naturally. Victims say they've been in the water for one hour. No word why 2 men were out in a canoe with 50kt winds and thunderstorms predicted for the area.

Guess they were lucky, but extremely intellectually challenged.

When I was in the USCG, we called them "Job Security". People make bad decisions. It's usually "not their fault".
